Calum Scanlon has suffered another injury setback with the Liverpool loanee facing several months on the sidelines. Scanlon last month joined Millwall on a season-long loan and made his Championship debut from the bench in the home defeat to Luton Town last week. But the 19-year-old left-back has suffered a recurrence of a back injury that has previously ruled him out for lengthy periods. Scanlon has now returned to Liverpool for treatment on this issue and will be out until November at the earliest. “He has got a stress fracture in his back, which is a recurring injury from previous,”…
Liverpool dragged their encouraging start to the Premier League season back on track with a solid home win over Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. Luis Diaz scored twice and Darwin Nunez also netted as the Reds did the business in the first half to earn a 3-0 triumph. The result means Arne Slot has now won five of his first six games in charge with his team temporarily moving to the summit of the early top-flight table.But there was plenty that went unnoticed or under the radar during the 90 minutes at Anfield… Liverpool’s eventual dominance during the first half was…
Liverpool loanee Owen Beck was seemingly bitten during a fiery end to the Lancashire derby that saw him sent off playing for Blackburn Rovers at Preston North End. Beck, who is on a season-long loan at Blackburn, was given his marching orders two minutes from the end of the goalless draw in the Championship on Sunday after an altercation with Preston midfielder Duane Holmes. However, during the melee that followed, television footage appeared to show the 22-year-old being bitten on the back of the neck by Preston’s Montenegro international Milutin Osmajic. Beck protested to the referee Matt Donohue and his…
Darwin Nunez could hardly keep his emotions in check by the time he finished his celebration. And all things considered, it was no surprise. After the Uruguayan was resigned to a bit-part role in the early weeks of the Arne Slot era – tallying just 82 minutes of action across four substitute appearances – his third, and undoubtedly most important, campaign at Anfield took off in usual headline-grabbing fashion on Saturday afternoon. As has become a common affair since he arrived in a £64m deal from Benfica two years ago, Nunez’s performance at the weekend – good, bad or indifferent…
On the weekend when stories of Trent Alexander-Arnold being set to buy Ligue 1 side FC Nantes were categorically dismissed, the Liverpool defender did at least seek to own the narrative on a big-money negotiation that is now all too real a prospect for supporters. True to his word in Milan, when Alexander-Arnold told reporters waiting to catch a word with him post-match that he would make a beeline for them at Anfield instead, the right-back stopped to chat on a range of topics after his part in helping the Reds to a 3-0 win over Bournemouth.That included a 100th…
Liverpool kick off their defence of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night with a all Premier League clash against West Ham United at Anfield. And the Reds will hope to win the competition for an 11th time after their dramatic victory over Chelsea in last year’s Wembley final, in which Virgil van Dijk scored a last-gasp extra-time winner for an injury hit side that included a number of Academy talents. There may be more young players included in the third round tie against Julien Lopetegui’s side, who come to Anfield on the back of a very difficult start to the…
Conor Bradley cannot wait for Liverpool’s Carabao Cup journey to begin again as he eyes a first start of the season against West Ham United. The right-back has made four substitute appearances for the Reds so far in 2024-25 and is eager to be named in Arne Slot’s starting XI when the Hammers visit Anfield in round three of the competition on Wednesday night. The meeting with Julen Lopetegui’s team marks the start of Liverpool’s defence of the trophy they claimed by beating Chelsea in incredible circumstances in last season’s final. And Bradley, who was part of the side at…
The 21-year-old Briton had to retire injured from her Korea Open quarter-final in Seoul on Saturday because of the issue. Raducanu’s name appeared in the Beijing draw when it was released on Monday before she withdrew shortly afterwards. “I sprained some ligaments in my foot which unfortunately need some more time to heal,” she wrote on X. “It means I can’t play in Beijing but I hope to be back competing as soon as I can.” The world number 54 was due to face a qualifier in the first round, with Chinese fifth seed Zheng Qinwen potentially waiting in the…
Aaron Lennon insists former side Everton simply have to be more clinical if they are to turn their fortunes around. The Toffees have had a poor start to their Premier League campaign and find themselves in 19th place with just one point to their name. There have been two occasions where Everton have managed to lose a two-goal lead this term against both Villa and Bournemouth. Speaking live on talkSPORT (23 September, 9:22am), Lennon was questioned by Gabby Agbonlahor about whether Everton needed to be more clinical in front of goal against Leicester and after their recent results. “One hundred…
Dan Friedkin could look to hire England interim manager Lee Carsley if he sacks Sean Dyche at Everton, according to GiveMeSport. Their sources reported on 24 September that Carsley, who played for the Toffees between 2002 and 2008, would be a leading candidate to replace Dyche if the 53-year-old is sacked. The Friedkin Group struck a deal to buy Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1 per cent stake at Goodison Park on 23 September, and the Americans could be set to make sweeping changes once taking up the reins. The Blues are winless in their first five Premier League matches of the season,…
