Frimpong breaks silence on tough Liverpool campaign and injury frustration

There’s no doubt the 25-year-old has faced an incredibly difficult task replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold, especially in a side that has looked completely disconnected for large periods this season.

Bolo Zenden recently explained that Frimpong is “more an attacker than a full-back”, while Jan Molby questioned whether his overall game is suited to the demands of Premier League football beyond his electric pace.

The former Bayer Leverkusen star has also struggled positionally at times, recently being used as a right winger while Curtis Jones filled in at right-back.

Frimpong opens up on injury frustration

Despite the difficult campaign, the Liverpool defender insists he remains optimistic about the future at Anfield.

“Of course I’m excited for the future. We’re at Liverpool, you know, we compete for things.”

The Dutchman added: “We have a great squad. Everyone’s good, you know. There’s competition everywhere.”

Frimpong also gave an honest insight into how difficult it has been watching from the sidelines while Liverpool’s season drifted away.

“It’s been really tough because as a footballer you don’t like to go to the stadium and watch it. You want to actually help the team.”

He continued: “When the team’s not winning, it’s like, ‘Oh, you want to go help,’ but you can’t because you’re injured.”

With a full pre-season and hopefully better fitness luck, next year already feels huge for Frimpong.
