Liverpool youngster Kaide Gordon faces another injury setback
The Reds’ promising teenage winger, Kaide Gordon, has encountered yet another setback in his journey to full fitness after recently making a long-awaited return to action for Liverpool.
Gordon’s latest injury setback is unrelated to the pelvic issue that previously sidelined him for over 18 months, a condition linked to his physical growth and development as a young player.
The 18-year-old winger had been eagerly awaiting his return to competitive football, having last featured in a match at any level in February 2022. His comeback occurred earlier this month when he came off the bench during the closing stages of Liverpool’s under-21s’ Premier League 2 clash against Middlesbrough on September 3.
However, his return went on to go short-lived as Gordon suffered a rolled ankle during his brief appearance on the pitch. As a result of this new injury, the talented young winger could remain on the sidelines for an extended period of time. [h/t ECHO]
Gordon for the Reds
Gordon’s latest setback will undoubtedly be a frustrating turn of events for both the player and Liverpool’s coaching staff. Having shown immense promise and potential during his early career, the winger had been hoping to build upon his return to competitive action and continue his development within the Liverpool youth setup.
Injuries are an unfortunate and often unavoidable aspect of a footballer’s career, especially for young players who are still growing and adapting to the physical demands of the sport. While Gordon’s previous pelvic issue was a significant challenge to overcome, his determination to return to the pitch was evident in his recent comeback.
Liverpool will undoubtedly provide Gordon with the necessary support and medical attention to aid his recovery and development. While this latest injury is a setback, the young winger has already demonstrated his resilience in overcoming adversity.
