Sky Sports News will speak from the session via video Xsuggested there was still no sign of the 25-year-old Dutch defender, while the update was drafted as expected given his recent setback.
The reporter said: “Still no Jeremy Frimpong, of course, he hasn’t played since he got the hamstring injury.”
That same update added useful context around the timeline, stating that number 30 was from the end of January and that he has missed several games since then.
With Anfield having already experienced a stop-start first season for Frimpong, the bigger question for us is whether this is simply Liverpool carefully managing a return, or whether the absence points to a slower recovery than initially hoped.
Frimpong’s absence from training keeps concerns alive over Liverpool’s right-back

Liverpool have been forced to improvise a lot at right-back this season and that hasn’t changed as we travel to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Sky’s update pointed out that Arne Slot is still dealing with defensive disruptions, while also noting that Joe Gomez is available again following his own dismissal, which at least gives Arne Slot a more natural option to lean on.
It is also important that the broader picture is already tight, because with limited specialist coverage, one setback often leads to a new redeployment.
That’s why these kinds of training details get so much attention, even with the caveat that it’s not a medical bulletin, just a snapshot of who was visible in a published session.
Gregg Evans suggested Jeremy Frimpong is likely to be out for another week as Liverpool make their comeback. So it wouldn’t automatically be a surprise if he didn’t feature against Forest, even if the appearance of being missing from the group still creates doubt.
What the numbers say about Frimpong’s stop-start season
Jeremy Frimpong has only started six of our 26 league matches, underscoring how little continuity the 25-year-old has been able to build in Liverpool colours.
Here’s a quick snapshot of his performances in the Premier League this season, via Bank score.
| Category | Stands |
|---|---|
| Performances (begins) | 11 (6) |
| Minutes played | 556 |
| Assists | 1 |
| shah | 1.05 |
| Tackles per game | 0.4 |
| Interceptions per game | 0.4 |
| Successful dribbles per game | 1.3 (70%) |
If Jeremy Frimpong is held back for Nottingham Forest, it could simply be Liverpool refusing to gamble on a player who has had too many breaks.
If he is missing because the problem is worse than feared, then the timing is difficult as Slot is already weighing the risk of midfielders being driven into the ground out of position.
Regardless, until we see the matchday squad and hear the next official update, the clearest conclusion from the training footage is simple.
Frimpong remains unavailable at a time when we do not have a natural right back in our first team.
