La Liga leaders Real Madrid will not be forced to contend with the talents of Liverpool star Jeremie Frimpong in the upcoming meeting between the clubs.
This comes amid confirmation that the Dutchman is facing up to an extended incoming spell on the sidelines.
As per a report from journalist Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail, Frimpong is expected to miss the next six weeks of the season.
Amid what has been a difficult start to life in England for the former Bayer Leverkusen man, he has picked up a serious hamstring injury.
This only adds to the concerns of a Liverpool outfit in nothing short of freefall at present.
Ahead of next week’s Champions League meeting with Real Madrid, Arne Slot’s troops have been condemned to defeat in six of their last seven fixtures across all competitions.
The latest came on Wednesday night, when the Reds were made short work of by Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup at Anfield.
