Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has hinted that the club could consider signing a new right-back following the injury suffered by Jeremie Frimpong during their emphatic 6-0 victory over Qarabag in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Frimpong was forced off in the early minutes of the match after picking up an injury, raising concerns about Liverpool\u2019s defensive depth for the upcoming fixtures. Speaking after the game, Slot admitted that the Dutch defender is expected to be sidelined for a period of time and that the club will assess its options carefully.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrimpong will be out for a period of time, yes. We as a club always make smart decisions,\u201d Slot said, as quoted by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Liverpool boss also stressed that any move in the transfer market would be made with long-term planning in mind rather than as a short-term reaction.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look at the long term; we don\u2019t have four right-backs and twelve number nines,\u201d Slot added, suggesting that balance within the squad remains a key priority for the club\u2019s recruitment strategy.<\/p>\n
Despite Frimpong\u2019s early exit, Liverpool showed no signs of slowing down as they dominated Qarabag with a ruthless attacking display. The Reds scored six unanswered goals to maintain their strong form in Europe and underlined their depth in attacking areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
