I think this lad is going to surprise everyone.   Four years ago, Preston fans were shocked he was getting a new contract.   He's stuck his head down, worked his bollocks off and became their player of the year. 

 

Now gets the chance of a lifetime to push on.  It won't be for want or trying like some lazy passengers we've got.

Got a good feeling about this lad but I thought the same thing about Mark Kennedy.

Offal

 

Jürgen Klopp has confirmed Joel Matip is set to miss the remainder of the 2020-21 season due to an ankle ligament injury.

 

The defender sustained the issue in a challenge to thwart Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min during the first half of Liverpool’s 3-1 win in London last Thursday.

 

Further diagnosis of the problem has revealed Matip will be unable to play any further part in the Reds’ campaign.

 

The champions are already without fellow centre-backs Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk due to long-term injuries; however, Klopp’s defensive options have been bolstered by the deadline-day arrivals of Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak.

 

Detailing Matip’s setback, the manager told Liverpoolfc.com: “Unfortunately, we found out now after everybody looked at it that Joel will be out for the rest of the season.

 

“But he will be ready for the start of the next pre-season and finally everything will be sorted.”

 

Praising the No.32’s efforts to play through injuries and sacrifice his own fitness on behalf of the team, Klopp added: “In the end, we have to admit that he probably did that.

 

“The situation is just, the season started and Joel was injured when the season started, unfortunately. We should not forget that at Schalke when he was there he played pretty much all the time completely through, he never had something.

 

“Then he was unlucky with a Koulibaly challenge against Napoli in the last second, in the Everton game kind of things, a little bit with the foot here and there. If something started and then the situation is like our situation – that nobody can really wait because of our situation with Virgil out and Joe out – we always had to try to find the first moment when he is able to play again.

 

“It was really unlucky because it was a brilliant challenge he made actually, he saved our life in that moment in the Tottenham game when he won the challenge against Son.

 

“But he injured his ankle and played the game on and now is out for the season, so you can imagine how much he tried to stay on the pitch and tried to help us.

 

“We will wait for him. He has now the rest of this season, then the summer, then the pre-season to get ready again and he will be ready again.”
