German under 19 international forward Samed Yesil has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a second serious knee injury in less than 12 months.
The £1m signing from Bayer Leverkusen made two appearances for the first team last season before damaging his knee last February whilst on international duty. He spent eight months on the sidelines before returning to action earlier this season, but unfortunately he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee in training recently and is now awaiting another operation.
Reds' under 21 boss Alex Inglethorpe told the Liverpool Echo; “Unfortunately Samed has suffered a reoccurrence of his knee injury. It’s a horrible situation for him. He had only just recovered from the previous injury.
“We will give him all the support he needs. He’s a great character and I am sure he will come back strongly from this.”
