Liverpool have been hit with yet another injury setback, this time involving one of their brightest young forwards, Jayden Danns, who is now set for a lengthy period on the sidelines after sustaining a hamstring injury.
The 19-year-old picked up the knock during Liverpool U21’s Premier League 2 clash against Ipswich Town, forcing him off the pitch after just 30 minutes of play.
Speaking after the Vertu Trophy clash with Crewe Alexandra, U21 boss Rob Page confirmed the extent of the damage and hinted that recovery could take some time.
🗣️ “It’s not going to be a quick fix — we’re talking a couple of months,” Page revealed. “It’s unfortunate, but Jayden’s attitude is second to none. He’s always positive and has the full backing of the medical team and the coaching staff. If anyone can get through this, it’s him.”
The setback is especially painful for Liverpool fans who had high hopes for Danns to feature more regularly in the first team this season. Page himself had previously described the young attacker as a potential “future England No. 9,” praising his work ethic and ambition to improve.
This new injury comes just weeks after initial concerns about his hamstring following the 3–2 defeat to Ipswich, with teammate Will Wright also sidelined due to an MCL issue — leaving Liverpool’s youth ranks thin in attacking options.
Danns, who made a name for himself last season with impressive performances in both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, has already demonstrated maturity and composure well beyond his years.
The club now hopes that his relentless drive and resilience will help him bounce back stronger, as Liverpool remain convinced that Jayden Danns is one for the future. 🔴✨
