Liverpool players give fans a cramp scare…
Liverpool supporters might have briefly turned into cramp conspiracy theorists after Ibrahima Konate and Florian Wirtz were taken off during Sunday’s win against Arsenal. It’s fortunate, however, because head coach Arne Slot confirmed the pair were just battling a severe case of the ‘leg tic-toc syndrome,’ commonly known as cramp! Meanwhile, Jeremie Frimpong continues his stint on the sidelines, perhaps considering launching a hamstring fashion line given his prolonged absence since the Bournemouth clash.
Arne Slot chuckled that Wirtz experienced a classic Premier League welcome, discovering mysterious cramp locations he didn’t know existed after 85 minutes. Slot remarked: “Playing Arsenal’s version of dance aerobics is a whole new world,” to which cramp therapy seemed the only cure. Konate and Wirtz were seen with their international squads, fit and ready for action. Conor Bradley was keeping the bench warm against Arsenal, while Frimpong is Liverpool’s sole injury jigsaw piece heading into games against Burnley in two weeks.
