"It's not going to be a quick fix."It's a setback for him, but Dannsy is very positive about everything in life, especially football. If anybody can get through this setback, it's him without doubt.

"He has the full support of the medical team and myself and the staff.READ MORE: Premier League youngster stretchered off after sickening injury in EFL Trophy clashREAD MORE: Brendan Rodgers tipped to make early Celtic exit and break 'three-year promise'"He'll get through it." It's another crushing blow for the young striker, who saw a potential loan move to Sunderland in the latter half of last season fall through due to a back injury.Danns had regained full fitness during the summer and appeared from the substitutes' bench in the first team's League Cup victory against Southampton just four days before picking up his latest knock.The striker made his senior Liverpool bow in February 2024 and has since netted three goals across ten outings while appearing in every major tournament, including the League Cup final triumph against Chelsea at Wembley last year.“I think the hunger has always been in my belly, even from when I was younger if a player was starting over me I wouldn’t like it,” Danns said last year as he looks to kick on having made his first-team breakthrough at Liverpool.“So, to be honest, my big goal is to just progress as far as I can go and keep trying to get better as a player, to keep progressing and trying to score goals and do the best for the team. So, the hunger’s not gone, it’s only just started.

Like I said, the more chances I get the more chances I want to take."But if I don’t get them chances I just want to keep working hard and there’s top-class players ahead of you [so] there’s no fuss about whether you’re in or you’re not, you’re just grateful when you’re in and around it, so the chances that I get, I’ll work as hard as I can and try to take them.”Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
