The Liverpool Club Thread. **No Spoilers**

Chance of seeing Ali again this season then?

I like Kelleher but surely you can’t win the league if GigaChad is out for the remaining 12 games?

I've seen a lot of comments on this on twitter and seems as if people only read headlines and not what Klopp actually said:

"There is no real timescale on it, but it is a proper muscle injury," Klopp said. "Different players recover differently. That is it pretty much. It is not a short one.

"It is not that he will be in contention for next week or something like that. We have to wait a few more weeks, definitely, for him. He is working in the gym, not on the pitch, it is a rather serious one but not a season-ending injury."

Lijnders already confirmed that he's out until after the internationals - our next game after then is approx 4 weeks away so I doubt he'll miss many (if any) games after then.

Let's hope it's better than your Trent, Dom and Salah predictions from the start of January eh. I'm not holding my breath tho

 

[BaZ87]

It's hardly a prediction, it's literally what Klopp has said.

How much longer is Gakpo's finishing out for?

Edwards is returning, albeit via FSG rather than directly employed by the club and it looks like Richard Hughes will be the new sporting director.

All confirmed in a statement from FSG now.

A key detail in the statement is FSG's intentions of buying another club (maybe clubs) too. This has been rumoured on and off for sometime now with reports that they were trying to buy a club in Brazil a season or two ago.

Pretty interesting that he'll also head the possibility of another club under the fsg umbrella

Injury update from Klopp in his press-conference. Konate probably won't be back for Sunday but it'll be tight, Gravenberch is back, Jones could be back from Brighton after the internationals with Trent & Jota a week later. I don't want to temp fate as he's been almost back every month since September but Bajcetic hopefully isn't far away too - Klopp said he's doing his own pre-season at the moment and will join full training after the internationals.

Going the old City route I see.

Going the old City route I see.

I don't think it'll be quite like City with multiple clubs dotted around the world. I suspect it'll be one club, whether that's a smaller club in Europe that they'll use as a finishing school for players before moving on to Liverpool if and when they're ready or whether they look somewhere like Brazil for greater access to that market. The latter had been rumoured a year or so back with some reports suggesting FSG tried to buy a Brazilian side.

Hughes' appointment is now official;

Richard Hughes appointed LFC's new sporting director - Liverpool FC

Liverpool FC can confirm the appointment of Richard Hughes as the club’s new sporting director, a post he will take up at the end of the 2023-24 season.

Seems bmouth's chief scout Mark Burchill is following Richard Hughes in making the move over.

Edit: Wrong thread.

 

[Tombstone]

Chelsea's statement read: 'Midfielder Romeo Lavia is to unfortunately miss the remainder of our 2023-24 campaign following a setback in his recovery.

'Recent medical assessments have confirmed that Lavia, who sustained a significant thigh injury against Crystal Palace back in December, will not feature again this season.'

Looks like we dodged a bullet with that one

 

[C Kent]

Little injury update from the pre match presser, Curtis/Ibou and Nunez all expected to take part against Brighton.

Ali/Trent and Jota a good 2 - 3 odd weeks away give or take to no one's surprise.

Dang, I had hoped that Jota was on the brink of returning. Could use his clinical finishing right now

 

[Purdy]

Glad to see the club continues to do something for him and his family along with him standing but absolutely brutal this is now 6 years on from that incident and he has still a ways to go (however much more is possible). Meanwhile, whoever did it walks free

Cracking goal for danns in the u21 game against the manc's today, really surprised we haven't seen more of him since he made his 1st team debut
