Dutch international of Ghanaian descent Jeremie Frimpong is set to spend time on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring injury.
Frimpong, who joined Premier League giants Liverpool in the current transfer window will be out of action until after the September international break, ruling him out of the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The pacey defender, who limped off during the Premier League opener against Bournemouth will also miss Liverpool's crucial games against Newcastle on Monday, and Arsenal on the following Sunday.
"The medical team was completely right about Jeremie, to tell me I had to take him off because he's out until the end of the international break.
"I think I got criticized a bit by taking him off. [The medical staff] felt he had an issue in his hamstring. Good call to take him off otherwise he might have been out for longer. We expect to have him back after the international break” said Liverpool manager Arne Slot.
In the absence of the Dutch-Ghanaian star, Joe Gomez is expected to fill void in subsequent matches.
Frimpong had a brilliant start to life at Liverpool, scoring in the club’s defeat to Crystal Palace in the Community Shield Cup.
He was also instrumental when the side inflicted a 4-2 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League opener last Friday.
