Liverpool striker Jayden Danns has been recovering from a hamstring injury.
Liverpool under-21s head coach Rob Page says that Jayden Danns is making progress from his latest setback.
The striker has had wretched luck with injuries over the past 18 months and have hampered his promising progress. Danns did not make a single appearance during a loan spell at Sunderland in the second half of last season because of a back injury.
After recovering from that issue, the 20-year-old - who has scored three goals in 10 first-team appearances for Liverpool - suffered a hamstring injury in October and has been on the treatment table since.
Danns had surgery and his absence has denied him a place in Arne Slot's squad of late, while Alexander has been recovering from a broken leg.
Danns will be hoping that he can make a return sooner rather than later and get minutes under his belt before the campaign ends. Speaking to RedMen TV, Page said after a 4-3 win over West Bromwich Albion in Premier League 2: "Jayden is doing really well. We do have a medical meeting on Tuesday (today), so I’ll know more then to what level he’s at. Every morning he’s out on the grass, and he’s getting better and better, stronger and stronger every day.”
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot recently on Danns’ recovery: “He’s been very unlucky in his career until now, but the good thing about him is that he has a great mentality. So, he’s always fighting himself back after setbacks and he has, unfortunately, had quite a lot because this would have been a great moment for him with Alexander Isak being out and the quality he has, that he could have been with us and helped us in certain moments.
“But unfortunately for him, but also for us, he’s faced a lot of injuries in his career until now. But the good thing about him is that he will fight back and come back and the world will get to know him the moment he’s fit again.”
Meanwhile, Page provided an update on Mor Talla Ndiaye. The centre-back signed for Liverpool from Senegal outfit Amatie FC during the January transfer window for a fee in the region of £1 million.
Ndiaye, 18, is still to make his debut for the young Reds. He had a minor issue that Liverpool had to carefully manage but is now training with his team-mates.
Page added: “Mor is on the grass. We had to shut him down for the first few weeks that he was in, just because of something that was flagged up. Nothing too significant to worry about, but just something that we had to manage. Thankfully, now he’s back on the grass, and I beat him in head tennis last week.”
