First it was an adductor injury in March 2023 that forced him to the sidelines, setbacks followed relating to his growth then after making his long-awaited return, in September a calf injury forced him back onto the treatment table and out of first-team action.

Whilst the Reds' midfield has coped well in his absence with new a quartet of summer 2023 signings settling in quickly, supporters are eager to see the Spaniard fight for his place in Jurgen Klopp's squad ahead of his replacement's arrival.
