Calvin Ramsay rehab continues as Liverpool defender posts injury update

Liverpool defender Calvin Ramsay is continuing his rehabilitation from injury at the club's AXA Training Centre after an injury was discovered during his medical.

The 19-year-old arrived at Anfield from Aberdeen for an initial fee of £4m after 33 appearances in the Scottish Premiership season, with the Reds keen for the right-back to become the deputy for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Ramsay did not take part in any of Liverpool's pre-season matches, and is yet to feature for the club in a competitive game after being sidelined.

However, the Scotland international has issued a promising update about his fitness on social media, posting a picture of himself in the gym.

The youngster can be seen on an exercise bike alongside midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is also out injured. Alongside his post, he included a bicep emoji.

Speaking in July, Jurgen Klopp revealed that Ramsay was yet to train with his new Liverpool team-mates after a minor injury was discovered during his medical.

"Unfortunately, Calvin is now not training with us at the moment, he has a little injury," Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com last month.

"Nobody knew, we found it when he did his medical check. Until today he has had no problems but the medical department tells us if we don’t take care of that now, he will have a problem in the future.

"So, when you are that young then of course he has a long career ahead of him, so we are very responsible in these moments, so he didn’t train yet with the team but is doing a lot of fitness work. So, it will not take too long I think.

“So I didn’t see him yet in training but everything we saw about him, we heard about him, I heard from him: a fantastic boy. And what a player he is, what he did for Aberdeen last year, absolutely exceptional.

"In his age group and you know the things we need from a full-back, he is as close as it gets to the things we want and is still a kid. So we really expect a lot from him in the long term."

Liverpool face off against Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon, hoping to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Manchester United last week.
