Breaking via Fabrizio Romano – Devastation at Anfield
Just days ahead of the new season, Liverpool have been dealt a major blow. Star signing Jeremie Frimpong has suffered a serious ACL injury during training, ruling him out for at least six months, according to Fabrizio Romano.
“Jeremie Frimpong picked up an ACL injury in training with Liverpool this week. He’s now expected to miss up to six months. Heartbreaking news for both the player and the club — this isn’t the start anyone hoped for,” Romano reported.
The announcement has stunned the club, the coaching staff, and fans alike.
Frimpong, a dynamic 23-year-old right wing-back signed from Bayer Leverkusen in a £40 million deal, was expected to be a cornerstone of Arne Slot’s revamped side. His pace, energy, and attacking drive had already caught the eye in early sessions, positioning him as a likely breakout star at Anfield.
However, during a routine training drill on Wednesday, Frimpong suddenly went down after a quick turn, clutching his knee in visible distress. Medical evaluations quickly raised concern, and scans later confirmed the worst — a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
He is now preparing for surgery and what promises to be a long and challenging rehabilitation, possibly keeping him sidelined until early 2026.
This injury delivers a severe blow not only to Liverpool’s tactical plans but also to a young player eager to make an instant impact at his new club. The timing is brutal — the season hasn’t even kicked off, and already one of its most exciting new signings is out.
Liverpool supporters around the globe are understandably crushed. All eyes now turn to Frimpong’s recovery — with hope that he returns stronger than ever. For now, though, it’s a massive setback that no one could have predicted.
