That first international break of the season always comes at just the wrong time. With teams starting to get into the groove as they switch from pre-season to competitive action, and with the final new signings of the summer arriving on deadline day, that Premier League fans had to wait two weeks to see their teams in action was almost a travesty. Fortunately, that wait is now over.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot admitted he could not fully trust Milos Kerkez to avoid a red card after the Hungarian’s early dive against Burnley. The left-back was hooked in the 38th minute following a yellow card, with Andy Robertson replacing him. The switch paid off as Liverpool held firm before sealing a 1-0 win thanks to Mohamed Salah’s late penalty.
Milos Kerkez has been branded a “muppet” and told he has “mashed potato for brains” following a calamitous outing for Liverpool at Burnley. The energetic left-back, who joined the Reds from Bournemouth in the summer transfer window of 2025, was hooked after just 38 minutes at Turf Moor as he found himself walking an unnecessary disciplinary tightrope.
Liverpool have confirmed Florian Wirtz as their new No.7 following Luis Diaz’s departure to Bayern Munich. The Germany international takes on an iconic shirt number at Anfield, as the Reds also unveiled squad numbers for their six other summer signings, including Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong, ahead of their 2025-26 campaign.
Milos Kerkez revealed why he chose to tackle with his head on his Liverpool debut after clips of his unorthodox defending went viral among fans. The left-back’s full-blooded commitment has only endeared him further to supporters, reinforcing why he is seen as one of Europe’s top emerging full-backs.
Liverpool fans were left scratching their heads after new signings like Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez took to the field against Preston wearing unfamiliar shirt numbers in the 50s. The Reds have now explained why temporary numbers were used and when the official ones will be confirmed.
