Liverpool have confirmed the departure of seven youngsters as the Academy prepares for a major shake-up in personnel.

The Reds have experienced a difficult campaign at youth level with the under-21s being eliminated from the Premier League 2 play-offs in the first round and the U18s finishing near the foot of their league.

And the most prominent departure is arguably 22-year-old goalkeeper Jakub Ojrzynski, who made the bench for the Premier League win at Sheffield United in February 2021.

He is presently on loan at Swedish top tier side Utsiktens BK and will become a free agent at the end of the month.

Dominic Corness, the 22-year-old midfielder who has previously captained Liverpool U21s and spent the second half of the season on loan at League Two side Gillingham, has also been released along with defenders Louis Enahoro-Marcus, Harry Evers and Lee Jonas and goalkeepers Jacob Poytress and Reece Trueman.

The Reds, though, are keen to retain a number of other players and have offered a raft of new contracts.
