Andoni Iraola on Jeremie Frimpong and Dominik Szoboszlai injuries

Andoni Iraola offered an update on the injuries that forced Jeremie Frimpong and Dominik Szoboszlai from the field during Liverpool's 2-1 win at Brentford on Saturday.

Szoboszlai was replaced after 32 minutes at Gtech Community Stadium having missed the Reds' last two outings due to a fitness issue – and the boss confirmed he had suffered a recurrence of the problem.

Frimpong, meanwhile, was introduced as a half-time substitute but came off just moments later, with Victor Munoz moving to the right-back position.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Iraola said: "I think we have a very delicate situation. We were coming from playing Champions League away two days ago, we arrived [home] late at night and probably with not a proper recovery.

"You are in doubt between the players that have already started two games and are very tired, or the players that are recovering from injuries but you're probably not 100 per cent certain.

"They were different cases. Dom felt the same injury, it's not a new injury and was probably not healed enough, so we will need more time with him. Jeremie's was new, I think he finished cramping the other day [against LASK].

"I put him on because playing against 10, going forward I thought he could give us more than Ronald. After, I value a lot and he was very good, Victor playing as a right-back.

"But it will mean we will lose Dom and Jeremie for some time, yes."
