Andoni Iraola spoke positively about Ronald Araujo and how his arrival at Anfield came about as a result of Liverpool's defensive shortages after their pre-season tour this summer.

With Iraola confirming it will be "difficult" to see Jeremie Frimpong in action before the November international break because of a new injury, the decision to bring Araujo in looks like one that will continue to serve Liverpool well.

The 27-year-old Uruguay international has started eight of the Reds' 10 games this season and played primarily at right-back.

As for Dominik Szoboszlai, there will be some relief among Liverpool fans that he has not suffered a new injury, but Iraola will know they must be careful with one of their most important players.

With important Premier League games coming up against Brighton and Arsenal over the next fortnight, Liverpool will hope to have the Hungarian back sooner rather than later.
