Liverpool fans held their breath on Saturday after Jeremie Frimpong was forced off at half-time during his Premier League debut.

Head coach Arne Slot revealed the substitution was a precautionary measure after the Dutch full-back complained of tightness in his hamstring.

> “He made a lot of sprints and was doing quite well, but with Conor Bradley already out we didn’t want to risk losing another full-back,” Slot explained.

Despite the early exit, Frimpong impressed with his energy and attacking runs, giving supporters plenty of optimism for what’s to come. For now, the hope is that his knock is nothing serious.
