🚨 Transfer Buzz: Liverpool Could Let Two Players Go in January Despite Injury Crisis

Even with Liverpool’s squad hit by injuries and absences, the club might still hand out departures in the upcoming January transfer window.

According to reports from Premier Injuries, Liverpool are facing a tight selection picture ahead of their match against Wolverhampton Wanderers — with up to six first-team players sidelined, not counting Mo Salah, who is away at the Africa Cup of Nations, and Dominik Szoboszlai, who is suspended.

Despite those setbacks, sources close to The Athletic’s Transfer DealSheet suggest that two fringe players could be shown the exit door or sent out on loan once the window opens.

🔥 Players in Focus

Trent Kone-Doherty — The 19-year-old winger has barely featured for the Reds this season. Liverpool see him as a prime candidate for a loan move that would give him consistent senior minutes and help his development.

Rhys Williams — Once a promising defensive option, Williams has found his opportunities even scarcer since a centre-back injury crisis hit. He hasn’t appeared in a matchday squad in months, and interest from other clubs could lead to another temporary switch in January.

💡 Why It Matters

Sending these two out on loan could benefit both Liverpool and the players: the club eases its wage bill and player congestion, while Kone-Doherty and Williams get the chance to play regularly — something they’re not finding under current manager Arne Slot.

With the winter window fast approaching, decisions on their futures could be coming sooner than most fans expect. 👀
