Szoboszlai and Frimpong face spell out injured after Brentford win
Liverpool came away from Brentford with a 2-1 Premier League win, but the result was overshadowed by fresh injury concerns for Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong, with Andoni Iraola confirming both are set for a spell on the sidelines.
Liverpool.com explains that Iraola had earlier confirmed his starting XI with "decisions made" on Szoboszlai and Florian Wirtz (Liverpool.com), before reporting that Szoboszlai's return from a "minor injury" ended early when he was substituted before half-time for Trey Nyoni (Liverpool.com). The same outlet then detailed how both Szoboszlai and Frimpong limped off during the game, prompting Iraola to give an update in his post-match press conference (Liverpool.com), and followed up by looking at which Liverpool fixtures the pair could now miss because of the "double injury blow" (Liverpool.com).
This Is Anfield confirms the pair are facing a period out of action, with Iraola saying they are expected to be missing "for some time" (This Is Anfield). Liverpool Echo echoes that language, reporting the manager is "worried" after Szoboszlai and Frimpong were withdrawn during the 2-1 victory, with the same "for some time" phrase used to describe the likely length of their absence (Liverpool Echo). LiverpoolFC.com, the club's official site, also carried Iraola's comments directly on the two injuries without giving further detail in the snippet provided (LiverpoolFC.com).
Where the outlets differ slightly is in focus: Liverpool.com has provided the most rolling coverage, from team news through to the in-game withdrawal and then the fallout in terms of fixtures that could be affected (Liverpool.com) (Liverpool.com) (Liverpool.com) (Liverpool.com). This Is Anfield, meanwhile, has also picked up on supporter reaction, reporting that fans have been questioning what they call a "needless" gamble on Szoboszlai, with some feeling the decision to involve him "backfired big time" (This Is Anfield).
Taken together, the picture from all the outlets is consistent: Liverpool won at Brentford, but both Szoboszlai and Frimpong went off injured, and Iraola has indicated they could be out for a notable period. The exact timeline and which specific matches they will miss remain to be confirmed, with Liverpool.com suggesting more clarity may follow on the games in question (Liverpool.com).
