Who begins at right-back for Liverpool?
A ultimate choice on Frimpong’s arrival has come a good bit sooner than anticipated. Although that’s to not query fully welcome information forward of the opening of the summer season switch window!
The massive query now, in fact, is who Arne Slot ought to decide to at right-back for the 2025/26 season.
A solution to that conundrum will little doubt make itself identified throughout pre-season (doubly so if Bradley continues to battle for health).
Given Jeremie Frimpong’s damage document with Leverkusen has been fairly stellar (regardless of the calls for of European soccer), we strongly suspect the Dutchman would possibly maintain the benefit.
That mentioned, we’d be removed from against seeing our backup fullback pretty win a beginning berth in Arne Slot’s first-XI!
Could one of the best man win.
