Calvin Ramsay has had to wait a long time to pull on a Liverpool jersey and represent the Reds for the first time. Having joined from Aberdeen in a deal worth up to a potential £6.5m this summer, an injury was spotted in the teenager’s medical before he suffered a setback earlier this month when close to a return, taking a knock to his ankle after being named in a senior matchday squad for the first time at home to Rangers.
However, the 19-year-old is now back in training with Jurgen Klopp ’s first team and looking to make up for lost time. The German revealed on Tuesday that the teenager was poised to feature for the Under-21s this weekend for Saturday’s mini-Merseyside derby against Everton as he steps up his recovery.
Yet rather than act as his Liverpool ‘debut’, Ramsay will head into the game having already made his first appearance for the Reds courtesy of a Papa John’s Trophy defeat to Accrington Stanley. Coming off the bench to score in the 3-2 loss at the Wham Stadium, the right-back’s impact was immediately noticeable.
