Frimpong out until next month - Iraola

Liverpool defender Jeremie Frimpong is set to be out until the November international break with a muscle injury, while midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai will miss Tuesday's Champions League game against Villarreal with a recurrence of the injury that kept him out of matches against Manchester City and LASK.

The pair were both forced off during Liverpool's win at Brentford on Saturday.

"Frimpong has a new muscle injury. It's difficult to predict [when he will return]," said Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola.

"We will have to wait until he recovers but it is going to be difficult before the break. We will try, but it is going to be difficult to have him.

"Szoboszlai is different - it is not a new injury. I think it is in the same place it was in the past week. It hasn't worsened, but probably we have to be a bit patient until he recovers fully. It is not like he has to wait a long time to come back - it is more or less the same situation he was in this past week.

"I appreciate what he did the other day, to be available, want to contribute in a very difficult game [against Brentford] that you know is going to be very physical. To put himself in front and want to play, speaks very well."
