A difficult first year as a Liverpool player for Fabio Carvalho is most succinctly explained by him being a victim of circumstances.
The Reds youngster officially completed his season-long loan switch to RB Leipzig on Thursday, joining the Bundesliga side for the 23/24 campaign in an effort to kick-start a career that has stalled since the turn of the year.
Carvalho was the subject of firm interest from the Premier League but a season away from the intense glare of England's top flight at a club with a good reputation for developing young players could be the perfect combination.
