Liverpool’s ongoing injury troubles have deepened following Sunday’s disappointing loss to Manchester City, creating even more concern among supporters.
A comprehensive update from Mail Sport’s Lewis Steele has offered clearer insight into the fitness status of several important players. His latest information covers Stefan Bajcetic, Jayden Danns, Alisson Becker, and Jeremie Frimpong—bringing a mixture of encouraging developments and worrying setbacks as the international break begins.
Starting on a positive note, Steele reports promising progress for Stefan Bajcetic. The young midfielder’s quality was evident well before injuries disrupted his breakthrough, and signs that he is moving steadily through rehabilitation will reassure Liverpool fans eager to see him return. His calmness, technical skill, and tactical maturity have been missed in a midfield still struggling to find balance this season.
However, the news regarding Jeremie Frimpong is far less encouraging. The Dutch full-back, who only recently arrived at Anfield, is expected to remain sidelined for a lengthy period. Steele reiterated that “patience is needed,” reminding readers that his earlier update suggested a minimum of six weeks out. For a player still settling into the squad and the Premier League, this prolonged absence is an untimely blow. His injury disrupts Liverpool’s attempts to integrate him into a new tactical direction shaped by their summer transfer business.
This setback also highlights growing concerns raised by Robbie Fowler, who recently questioned whether Liverpool’s summer signings ultimately weakened the side rather than strengthened it. Losing a player with Frimpong’s pace and creativity only fuels that debate, especially during a demanding stretch of fixtures.
Steele described Jayden Danns’ condition as more complicated. While the young striker remains upbeat, the true severity of the injury is becoming more apparent. Calling it a “nasty” issue, Steele admitted he could not provide a clear recovery timeline. This uncertainty will disappoint supporters who saw major potential in the 18-year-old—especially after Wales manager Rob Page once tipped him to become “the next England No.9.”
In contrast, Alisson Becker’s situation appears much more optimistic. The Brazilian is reportedly pushing to be available for Liverpool’s next league match against Nottingham Forest. Considering how much the team struggled defensively without him—particularly during the 3–0 defeat to Manchester City—his potential return could make a significant difference.
After losing five of their last six league matches, Liverpool were in desperate need of this international break. It offers a crucial chance for reflection, recovery, and rebuilding. With several players working their way back toward fitness, the coming weeks may prove pivotal in shaping the remainder of Liverpool’s season.
