That is according to the Daily Mail as an early December return is the most likely target for the Netherlands international, who arrived at the club in the summer from Bayer Leverkusen.
While the Dutch full-back is only a few months into his Liverpool career, this will be his second spell on the sidelines after missing wins over Newcastle and Arsenal earlier in the season with a hamstring injury.
How many Liverpool games will Jeremie Frimpong miss?
Considering Frimpong has already spent a week out, another five weeks on the sidelines should see him available for selection again during the first week of December.
However, if the aforementioned timeframe is accurate then he will miss at least SIX more Liverpool games – against Aston Villa, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Nottingham Forest, PSV Eindhoven and West Ham.
The home game against Sunderland on December 3, 2025 may be too early for a return as trips to Leeds and then to Inter Milan afterwards could be viewed as more realistic provided his recovery goes to plan.
On a more positive note, Frimpong should be back to full fitness by the time Mohamed Salah is expected to depart for Africa Cup of Nations duty with Egypt.

“Yes, we definitely thought about that. We brought in Jeremie Frimpong because we think he can play as a right full-back but I also think and feel he can play as a right-winger,” Slot told reporters in August.
“I, we, did think about the fact that we’re going to miss Mo, I think as a maximum for six games – but that’s quite a lot in the Premier League, especially if you see how well he did last season.
“Signing Jeremie Frimpong was for multiple reasons but one of them was also that he could replace Mo if Mo is not there. There are other options for me to replace Mo with as well – but Jeremie is definitely one of them.”
