Liverpool under-21s striker Layton Stewart insists he's 'mentally stronger' following a 13-month stint on the sidelines at an early stage of his football career.
Stewart, who has been part of the Reds' academy since the age of seven, suffered an ACL injury in March 2021 against West Ham and spent a year on the sidelines before making his comeback during the Premier League 2 clash with the Hammers in April this year.
With his injury coming at the midpoint of one of his finest goalscoring seasons for the club, as he found the back of the net 17 times for both the under-18s and under-21s, Stewart is hoping to use the 2022/23 season to make up for lost time and force his way into Jurgen Klopp's reckoning.
