Liverpool defender Calvin Ramsey has been ruled out during a difficult loan spell at Championship club Preston North End.
Calvin Ramsey could return to Liverpool sooner than expected after Preston North End boss Ryan Rowe admitted the defender has “potential”.
Ramsey has endured a disappointing season since agreeing to spend the season on loan at the Championship side. The 20-year-old, who joined Liverpool from Aberdeen 18 months ago, made two appearances before making his Red debut due to knee surgery, but a further knee injury has kept out for more than two months earlier this season.
Ramsay played just twice before being struck down by COVID-19 when he returned to fitness at the end of November and has since been ruled out for the past four days.
And Preston boss Rowe has revealed he is in talks with the Scotland international over his future and one of the options includes an early call-up to Liverpool.
“There’s an opportunity in everything,” Lowe said. “I don’t see him playing enough games. He wanted to come here to play and force his way. That’s why I signed it.
Injuries brought him back to play, then COVID forced him back. He is currently out of the squad, but everyone has a chance. We will do our best for ourselves and our players. “Calvin, like most players, has a chance to get back into the team every day.
I spoke to him briefly recently and he was disappointed he wasn’t in the team and he wasn’t out of the team because he thought he could.” team. “The problem is you’ve got guys like Brad Potts who have been outstanding since I arrived.
Lowe added: “We’ve got someone who can fill that void, whether it’s Alan Brown or Ali McCann, whether it’s right-back.
And if you are a right back, the defender can go to the left, so you have to choose a team and formation that will help you in the game. And when changes need to be made to the game, he’s on the bench. It’s a bit unfortunate. “
