Calvin Ramsay admits he refused to believe the injury prognosis that brought a shuddering halt to his Liverpool career before it had even started.
Ramsay arrived from Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen last June in an initial £4million deal, only to be diagnosed with a serious back injury during his medical.
The 19-year-old right-back had to wait until the Champions League group stage visit of Napoli in November before making his senior debut for the Reds, with his first start - and thus far only other outing - coming in the Carabao Cup third-round tie at home to Derby County the following week.
