The striker situation at Liverpool finally looked to have resolved itself with the Swede coming back into contention, but Ekitike’s injury has scuppered Liverpool’s plans. Credit: Shaun Brooks/CameraSport/Getty Images Liverpool should try out Jayden Danns as a Hugo Ekitike replacementDanns himself has been plagued by injuries for most of his senior career.

The most recent has seen him out of action for most of the season, and Danns’ absence was actually extended just a few weeks ago during his return to Under-21s action.But he’s due back any day now, and as the only other recognised striker at the club, he should get more of an opportunity in these closing weeks of the season. He has seldom been available while Arne Slot has been at the club.

Sure, that could come in the form of a new signing — the Reds have been pursuing multiple options — but we shouldn’t rule out the idea of Danns as an able deputy.On the rare occasion he has been fit, the youngster has been lights out in front of goal. In just 216 senior minutes, he has three goals.
