Disaster Strikes Liverpool: Jeremie Frimpong Suffers Devastating ACL Injury Just Days Before Season Kickoff
Live from Fabrizio Romano: In a heartbreaking turn of events at Anfield, Liverpool’s big summer signing Jeremie Frimpong has suffered a serious ACL injury in training, sidelining him for at least six months, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
“Jeremie Frimpong has sustained an ACL injury in training with Liverpool this week — he’s now expected to be out for up to six months,” Fabrizio reported.
“Brutal news for the player and the club. Not how anyone wanted this season to begin.”
It’s the kind of news that brings shock, silence, and sorrow across the footballing world.
The 23-year-old right wing-back, signed from Bayer Leverkusen in a £40+ million move, was one of Arne Slot’s marquee signings — brought in to inject pace, dynamism, and attacking verve down the flank. His early performances in training had already turned heads, and many believed he was set to be a breakout star in Liverpool’s new era.
But in a cruel twist during a midweek training session, Frimpong went down clutching his knee after making a sharp pivot. The scene turned tense as medical staff rushed in, fearing a serious injury. Those fears were sadly confirmed following scans: a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Frimpong will now undergo surgery and begin what promises to be a difficult rehabilitation journey — with a return unlikely before early 2026.
This blow is more than just tactical — it’s deeply personal. Frimpong had dreamt of lighting up Anfield and had embraced the challenge of becoming a central figure in Liverpool’s transformation under Slot. Now, that dream is on hold.
For Liverpool, the timing couldn’t be worse. Just days away from the Premier League’s opening weekend, their plans have been thrown into disarray.
Fans around the globe are heartbroken, with tributes and messages of support flooding in for the young Dutch international.
“Stay strong, Jeremie. You’ll walk out at Anfield again. And when you do, it’ll be worth the wait. 💪❤️”
For now, Liverpool must regroup and adapt — but make no mistake: this is a massive early setback for both club and player
