Liverpool could be prompted into loan recall decision after latest Reds body blow

Liverpool has brought back a number of players from loan throughout the last two weeks, and it’s very likely that they will do so once more in the days to come.

The temporary movements of Owen Beck, James Balazigi, Rhys Williams, and Fabio Carvalho have all been terminated, and a potentially disastrous setback to the Reds could lead them to terminate another loanee.

According to the Lancashire Post, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s knee injury may prompt LFC to call up Calvin Ramsay from his Preston North End loan, especially because the Scottish teenager already faced a “uncertain” future at Deepdale.

In fact, before the news of today’s devastating blow to the Liverpool vice captain, Lilywhites boss Ryan Lowe had recently acknowledged that there had been a chance the 20-year-old might return to Anfield.

Ramsay’s troubles for playing time at Preston and Jurgen Klopp’s present lack of choices for senior full-backs make it extremely unwise for Liverpool to not at least try to recall the right-back from his loan term.

Due to illness and injury, the Scotland international has only appeared in two games for the Lilywhites this season (Transfermarkt). Lowe has made it clear that he does not want to remove Brad Potts from his starting lineup anytime soon (Lancashire Post).

As a result, the 20-year-old has little chance of seeing action at Deepdale. Even if he faced a similar circumstance at Anfield, at least having him on hand would give the team selection committee some leeway.

Ramsay’s absence from Preston’s FA Cup match against Chelsea last weekend is fortunate since it would allow Liverpool to recall him for the fourth round match against Bristol Rovers or Norwich at the end of January, which would give Conor Bradley a rest.

The Reds should definitely strive to end the Scottish young player’s loan in Lancashire, especially in light of Trent’s devastating loss.
