Liverpool’s injury list has been a constant theme this season.
Florian Wirtz has been sidelined with a back problem he sustained in the warmup before the Nottingham Forest game.
Wataru Endo faces a long spell out.
Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni are already ruled out for the campaign.
Arne Slot has had to juggle minutes carefully as the club fights to climb from sixth place.
That context made the latest injury scare feel familiar.
Another Liverpool attacker went down during a competitive fixture versus England .
He stayed on the turf for three minutes and was eventually forced off in the 36th minute.
The body language did not look good.
Academy winger Joshua Abe, 15, has been one of the breakout names in Liverpool’s youth ranks this season.
Earlier this month, he became the youngest-ever player to represent the club at U19 level in the UEFA Youth League.
He followed that up with a stunning hat-trick in a 6-1 U18 victory over Leeds United.
His numbers underline his rise. Eight goals and three assists in 10 Premier League North appearances.
Six of those goals came during a four-game scoring run.
His form even earned him senior training invitations under Slot.
Liverpool academy journalist Lewis Bower posted via X “Josh Abe to spend time out injured. Speedy recovery to an extremely talented young player.”
This is not a first-team crisis. But it is a development setback. And at 15, every month matters.
Liverpool will now focus on getting one of their brightest prospects back on track.
Josh Abe to spend time out injured. Speedy recovery to an extremely talented young player.
