Liverpool defender Calvin Ramsay faces long-term injury layoff

Liverpool have suffered a significant setback with the news that right-back Calvin Ramsay stands set for an extended spell on the sidelines. Last summer, Liverpool signed the right-back from Aberdeen. The Reds would have expected him to make a big impact at Anfield, but injuries have plagued him and he has barely featured for the team.

The Telegraph reports that the player’s latest setback is a “long-term” injury and his injury record has been a major cause for concern, and the latest news of a long-term injury is certainly a huge blow to both the player and the club.

This latest setback means that he will have to look elsewhere, most probably James Milner to fill the void in the right-back position. Apart from Trent Alexander-Arnold, there is no recognized right-back in the team, and obviously, Milly is the catalyst that fits in wherever the Reds need him to.

Ramsay for the Reds

For Ramsay, this latest injury setback will be particularly frustrating. After joining Liverpool, he would have been eager to make an impact and establish himself as a regular in the team. Injuries can be a real setback for players, particularly when they are just starting to make their mark in a new team.

The 19-year-old Scotsman has only featured twice for the Reds and he would now have to wait a bit longer than he would have wanted to to get back into the team. This season, Liverpool’s record of players missing games due to injury has been poor, with both training injuries and match injuries contributing to the problem.

The medical team will have a huge task at hand to tackle all these injury issues. Hopefully, we could have a full-strength side sooner than later so that we can strengthen our case for a top-four finish.

In conclusion, the news of Ramsay’s extended absence from the field will be a challenge for Liverpool as they navigate through the current season with a number of games left ahead and no squad depth to add to it as well.
