One of the big questions now is whether Dominik Szoboszlai could be used at right-back again.
Szoboszlai has arguably been Liverpool’s best midfielder this season, bringing energy, creativity, and goals from midfield. However, injuries and squad issues have previously seen him used in a deeper or wider role, and the idea of him filling in at right-back again will worry many fans.
Moving your best midfielder out of position to cover injuries is never ideal, especially in a massive game against Manchester City.
A Huge Game Ahead
The FA Cup tie against Manchester City is one of Liverpool’s biggest games of the season, and playing players out of position could be a major risk. City are one of the most dangerous attacking teams in the world, and Liverpool will need their best players in their best positions.
If Frimpong is unavailable, Slot will have a big decision to make — whether to reshuffle the team or bring in a more natural defender.
Not Ideal Preparation
With injuries, international breaks, and limited preparation time, this is far from ideal for Liverpool heading into such an important match.
Losing Frimpong again would be a big blow, and the last thing Liverpool fans will want to see is their most influential midfielder being moved to right-back in one of the biggest games of the season.
