Liverpool winger ruled out until 2023 as Calvin Ramsay plan confirmed

Kaide Gordon looks set to remain sidelined until 2023 as the Liverpool winger continues to recover from a pelvic problem.

The winger, who celebrated his 18th birthday at the start of October, enjoyed a senior breakthrough for Jurgen Klopp ’s side last season as he made four appearances, including his Premier League debut, and also scored his first goal for the Reds. However, he hasn’t featured for the club at any level since a Premier League 2 appearance against Leeds United back in February.

Liverpool have been keeping a careful eye on the issue with the player following his own specialised training programme, having been troubled by a pelvic injury linked to his physical growth. But with the Reds not wanting to rush the youngster, he is unlikely to return until the New Year.

“Kaide’s been unfortunate with a long-term injury,” Under-21s head coach Barry Lewtas told the ECHO after Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Everton on Saturday. “He’s another unbelievably young boy. He’s still an Under-18 which is crazy."

FSG CEO Sam Kennedy makes Liverpool future vow

Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group remain committed to long-term goals during ownership across their growing portfolio of sports teams.

Having purchased the Boston Red Sox in 2002, Liverpool eight years later and, most recently, the Pittsburgh Penguins NHL ice hockey team in November of 2021, FSG have grown the value of their overall sporting empire to more than $10bn, making them the third biggest sports ownership group in the world.

FSG took over the Red Sox when they hadn't won a baseball World Series for 86 years, delivering one two years after buying the team. Since then they have won three more, but struggles on the field this season have seen FSG top brass come in for criticism from some Red Sox fans, a feeling that has been mirrored across the Atlantic at Anfield.

Liverpool, winners of the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020, came within a whisker of the perfect season last year, winning both the FA Cup and League Cup but losing out in the final of the Champions League and being just 15 minutes away from claiming the Premier League crown before a late rally by Manchester City against Aston Villa on the final day.

This season has been far more challenging, the latest setback being a 1-0 loss at struggling Nottingham Forest on Saturday, and as injuries pile up and boss Jurgen Klopp has less and less to choose from in terms of options, the perceived lack of investment in the first team in recent transfer windows has become a bone of contention once again among some Reds fans.
