Summer signing debut “possible” & Anfield expansion update – Latest Liverpool FC News

As Liverpool prepare to host Napoli on Tuesday, one summer signing could finally be set to make his debut, while there’s also an update on the Anfield Road End redevelopment.

 

Ramsay ready at last?

More than four months since joining from Aberdeen, Calvin Ramsay could finally be set to make his Liverpool debut.

The right-back scored his second goal in three games for Liverpool under-21s on Saturday, and was part of the 22-man first team squad that took part in Monday’s session at the AXA Training Centre.

Jordan Henderson was not involved, but is not believed to be an injury doubt, having taken part in an individual session instead.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Jurgen Klopp confirmed Ramsay could now be ready to make his first appearance for the senior team, but did imply that he won’t start against Napoli.

“With Calvin, we have to see,” he said.

“That makes now no sense if we have to change a lot of players to bring Calvin in for his first senior [appearance].

“Coming on, yeah, for sure – these kind of things should be possible.”

A lot will depend on how the game pans out. If Ramsay doesn’t make his debut this week, then it should come in next week’s League Cup clash with Derby County.
