Ian Doyle has said that Fabio Carvalho’s short-term future at Liverpool could depend on how he fares during pre-season. The journalist was responding to a variety of queries in a Q&A for the on Thursday, with one reader asking what ‘the future holds’ for the youngster on Merseyside. Doyle replied: “Carvalho has barely played and has perhaps been a victim of Liverpool not doing so well this season. If results had been better, I’d have expected him to play more. “I don’t think there’s any appetite to sell him, but a loan move next season isn’t out of the question.
As Doyle says, part of that could be down to Liverpool’s struggles this season, along with a relative lack of cup games in which to give Carvalho an opportunity.
The Toxeth lad offers a perfect role model for Carvalho to try and emulate over the coming months.
