Liverpool’s manager Andoni Iraola says he is not overly concerned about Jeremie Frimpong after the defender was taken off late in the club’s pre-season defeat to Leeds United. All reports agree that Frimpong comes off with about 13 minutes remaining in the second half of the friendly. Iraola indicates the substitution was precautionary and frames the situation as something temporary, suggesting Frimpong’s problem may be “overload” rather than a serious injury. The sources describe that Frimpong himself requests to be substituted before the match’s final stages, prompting the change. While the outcome of the game is noted as a “collapse” or defeat to Leeds, the focus across the coverage is the assessment of Frimpong’s physical condition. As of the reports, there is no indication of a confirmed injury diagnosis or timetable for a return, and Iraola’s comments emphasize monitoring and reassurance. The statements collectively portray Liverpool as treating the late fitness concern as manageable and likely related to workload rather than a lasting issue.
