Jayden Danns is facing an extended spell on the sidelines after the Liverpool striker suffered a hamstring injury while playing for the U21s. This Is Anfield understands that Danns is now set for a lengthy layoff, which serves as another unfortunate setback.



If that is the case, Danns would be facing a number of months out with a recovery timeframe comparable to that of Stefan Bajcetic, who underwent a similar operation at the end of May. At this stage those close to the situation have simply suggested it will be an extended spell out for Danns, who already missed much of pre-season due to another long-term concern.

That ended a loan move to Sunderland before it even began and this new injury could now threaten Danns’ chances of another temporary switch in January. Will Wright set to miss two months Liverpool are yet to provide clarity on the situation with Danns, but U21s head coach Rob Page is already without another striker for up to two months following knee ligament damage for Will Wright.
