Full speed ahead for Frimpong

JEREMIE MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME AFTER INJURY

- BY PAUL GORST

JEREMIE FRIMPONG was only an hour into his Premier League career when he felt injury strike.

Replaced on the hour mark of Liverpool's 4-2 win over Bournemouth on August 15, he made a comeback in a Champions League outing on October 22 - but lasted just 19 minutes as a hamstring issue flared up once more.

It kept the ex-Bayer Leverkusen ace sidelined for a further two months and by the time he returned to the starting lineup, in the 2-1 win over Wolves on December 27, what had promised to be a blindingly-bright campaign on the back of a £440m rebuild of a titlewinning squad had gone off track.
