Liverpool boss Arne Slot could be set to surprise fans by recalling a long-forgotten name when his side faces Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup clash this Wednesday.

After suffering a 3-2 defeat to Brentford, Liverpool’s poor run of form — five losses in their last six games — has left supporters demanding a response. With that in mind, Slot is reportedly planning to rotate his squad heavily, opening the door for a shock return.

With Jeremie Frimpong sidelined due to a hamstring injury and Conor Bradley being the only available natural right-back, Slot might be forced to explore other options. Though Joe Gomez and Dominik Szoboszlai can fill in at full-back, one name has quietly re-emerged: Calvin Ramsay.

The Scottish defender, signed from Aberdeen in 2022 for £4.2 million, hasn’t featured for the senior team since November 2022, when he appeared in both the Champions League and a Carabao Cup tie against Derby County.

Unfortunately, his season was cut short by a knee surgery that kept him sidelined for months. Since then, Ramsay has had loan spells at Preston, Bolton, Wigan, and Kilmarnock, before returning to Anfield this summer.

Now 22, Ramsay has impressed with Liverpool’s Under-21 squad, even wearing the captain’s armband in several matches and recently scoring in a 4–1 victory over Everton.

Given Bradley’s fitness concerns, Slot may finally hand the young right-back his first senior appearance in nearly three years, reigniting a career that once promised so much. 🔥
