Yalla Shoot :Liverpool loan out defender Calvin Ramsay after injury-hit debut season

Liverpool have sent Calvin Ramsay on loan to EFL Championship club Preston North End next season.

The Scotland right-back made only two appearances in an injury-hit first year at Anfield after his 2022 move from Aberdeen and is yet to make his Premier League debut.

Now Jurgen Klopp has decided to let him get first-team football with Preston next season rather than using the 19-year-old as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s deputy.

Ramsay, who is still undergoing rehabilitation after surgery, will stay with Liverpool for the start of pre-season before going to Deepdale in mid-July.

His only start for Liverpool came against League One Derby in the Carabao Cup last November, but Ramsay remains part of Klopp’s long-term plans.

The manager name-checked another young right-back in Conor Bradley just before the end of the 22/23 campaign, noting that he would be involved in pre-season with the Reds after a year impressing on loan at Bolton.

Bradley has won 12 senior caps for Northern Ireland, while Ramsay made his senior Scotland international bow in November last year.
