Jayden Danns, the Liverpool attacking youngster, has been sidelined for most of the 2024/25 season due to a back injury, specifically a stress fracture, which has severely limited his playing opportunities and prevented a potential loan move to the Championship side Plymouth Argyle. Despite signing on loan for Sunderland over two months ago, Danns has yet to debut for the Black Cats and remains in recovery at Liverpool’s training facility rather than training with Sunderland, suggesting he is not close to returning to competitive action.

Photos from Liverpool’s official sources showed Danns socializing with the U21 squad but not participating fully on the training pitch, indicating his fitness is still being managed carefully. This absence has led to uncertainty regarding when he will be able to contribute either for Sunderland or Liverpool’s youth ranks, with Sunderland fans beginning to doubt if he will play during the ongoing Championship season.

On a positive note, by late 2024, official Liverpool channels confirmed that Danns had returned to full training at the AXA Training Centre, signaling a hopeful comeback ahead. He was featured prominently in training posts on social media, and this return to activity has been welcomed as a significant step forward in his recovery after months on the sidelines. This development could open up future opportunities for loan spells or inclusion in Liverpool's squads moving into the next season.

Overall, while Danns’s back injury has disrupted his early career progress and loan plans, the club’s confirmation of his return to training suggests that with careful rehabilitation, he may soon resume his path toward senior football and further development as a promising Liverpool talent.
