Liverpool in talks to bring back promising “jewel” alongside Phillips

FSG and Jurgen Klopp are considering recalling another one of their players currently out on loan.

Liverpool have entered discussions to bring a promising youngster back to Anfield alongside Nathaniel Phillips, according to an update from a reliable reporter.

The Reds have recently confirmed that Joel Matip has undergone successful surgery on his ACL injury, but with no return date being set for the defender, the manager might want to keep hold of the former centre-back to provide cover in the Premier League.

Another player who left the club on a temporary basis during the previous window was Fabio Carvalho, with the attacking midfielder linking up with RB Leipzig until the conclusion of the campaign in order to try and increase his experience and game time.

The Portuguese, however, has received the opposite having made just one start since completing his switch to the Bundesliga (WhoScored – Carvalho statistics), and due to being unhappy with how his spell is going, the 21-year-old could also now return to Anfield.
