This has been allowed outfits to meet PSR rules and avoid any unsavoury breaches and the penalties that come with them.While Burnley and Leeds United have failed to award a single minute to homegrown U21 players in the Premier League this season, meaning that they would be hit hardest by new rules if green-lighted, Liverpool could also be stung.The Reds have only afforded 320 minutes to players of that category in the English top flight across 2025/26 so far - Rio Ngumoha making up the bulk of that with 306 minutes on the pitch alone. He told Goal: "I think Liverpool, now [Hugo] Ekitike is out for a long time, there are holes there."He's not going to start in the next season, I'm sure.

Salah's leaving, so it might be big for him [Ngumoha] to go straight in."I'm sure they'll sign another player who can fit the mould of both of those types of players. They know the lad's mentality.

They know whether they want to put that pressure on him from the start of next season to be the main man at Liverpool."Or do they want to take it off and just keep him developing nicely? I think that's the responsibility.
