Liverpool boss Arne Slot said: “The medical team was completely right about Jeremie, to tell me I had to take him off because he’s out until the end of the international break.
Conor Bradley returned to training with the first team on Thursday while Joe Gomez is another right-back option in the squad – but Slot said he has not played a lot of minutes, raising doubts about his ability to start.
“Conor played for a few minutes with us today, for the first time,” said Slot, who revealed Wataru Endo and Dominik Szoboszlai could also fit in at right-back. Curtis Jones has also slotted in at right-back before for Liverpool and England.
“These things happen in a season. We have only at the moment two injuries – unfortunately it’s two for the same position,” added Slot.
