It was a rollercoaster debut for one former Liverpool defender in the Championship, who was Man of the Match but suffered a serious injury. One of 11 ex-Reds who made moves in the January transfer window, Martin Kelly swapped for Wigan on loan for the remainder of the campaign. Unfortunately, there are now fears he has played his first and last game for the Latics, after suffering a worrying knee injury off the ball in Monday’s 0-0 draw at Blackburn.

But after 75 minutes he was forced off and replaced by another former Liverpool player, Steven Caulker, having caught his studs in the turf. Kelly’s left knee twisted badly and he was already in a brace after the game, when he picked up his Man of the Match award from the EFL.



The stalemate was manager Shaun Maloney’s first in charge, having replaced another ex-Liverpool defender, Kolo Toure, at the end of January.



Kelly came through the academy at Liverpool before making his first-team debut against PSV Eindhoven in 2008, going on to make 62 appearances for the club.
