Liverpool injury and suspension update ahead of a Arsenal clash: here are the players ruled out of the Premier League 2025/26 Matchweek 3.
Liverpool carried on with their Premier League title defence by securing another win on Monday, edging Newcastle United 3-2 at St James’ Park in what is likely to be one of the most intense atmospheres of the season.
Arne Slot reinstated Ryan Gravenberch to the starting lineup against the Magpies following the midfielder’s suspension from last season’s finale against Bournemouth. However, Alexis Mac Allister was unavailable due to a minor setback.
Meanwhile, Jeremie Frimpong has been sidelined since sustaining a hamstring injury on August 15, with his return not expected until after the upcoming international break.
The Dutchman’s absence leaves Liverpool short of a natural right-back. While Dominik Szoboszlai impressed with a man-of-the-match display when covering alongside Ibrahima Konaté earlier this week, Conor Bradley is expected to be fit and in contention to face Arsenal.
Below is a summary of Liverpool’s current injury and suspension situation ahead of their high-profile clash with the Gunners at Anfield.

Jeremie Frimpong
Status: Out
Injury: Hamstring

Alexis Mac Allister
Status: Major doubt
Injury: Knock
Expected return: August 31 (vs Arsenal)
