Major Injury Blow Ahead of Champions League Clash with Real Madrid
The team has suffered a significant setback ahead of their highly anticipated Champions League encounter with Real Madrid, as it has now been confirmed that Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong, and Alisson Becker will all miss the match through injury.
All three players had been closely monitored in recent days, but the club has officially ruled them out of the squad, dealing a major blow to preparations.
Alisson Becker, still recovering from a muscle problem, was unable to complete full training sessions and has been withdrawn from selection. His absence means the backup goalkeeper will start in one of the club’s biggest fixtures of the season.
Jeremie Frimpong remains sidelined after suffering a setback during his rehabilitation. The defender has been a key outlet on the flanks this season, and his unavailability deprives the side of vital pace and attacking width.
Alexander Isak has also been ruled out as he continues to recover from a fitness issue, with his goal-scoring instincts and attacking presence set to be sorely missed.
Club statement:
“All three players will miss the upcoming match and continue following their recovery programs. The priority is to ensure they return to full fitness as soon as possible.”
Their absence is expected to force a tactical reshuffle as the team prepares to face a Real Madrid side in strong form and full of confidence. Further updates on their recovery timelines will be provided in due course.
