Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp confirms forgotten starlet is finally on comeback trail after missing entire 2023-24 season so far due to complex issue

Ahead of his side's clash with Sheffield United, Klopp has confirmed Bajcetic is set to rejoin his team-mates on the grass next week. The 19-year-old midfielder has made just two appearances this campaign due to complications caused by growing pains.

Bajcetic was a shining light in a disappointing season last year for the Reds, making 19 appearances in total after breaking through after the World Cup. He has since become the forgotten man on Merseyside, but his return is a big boost for both Klopp and his successor in the Anfield dugout when he steps aside in the summer.

Discussing Liverpool's injury list in a press conference, Klopp said: "We forgot Stefan Bajcetic. Yes he didn't play for a long time but he trains fully with the Under-21s this week.

"That means we will take him in [senior] training next week and then we will see. So another one coming, that's super important."

It remains to be seen if Bajcetic will feature in the run-in, given Liverpool are locked in a title race, but he is likely to continue his injury return with the Under-23 side in the coming weeks, as well as training with the first team.
