One of these was Ramsay after a long time away from the first-team, with the Scotsman doing a fairly decent job at right-back all things considered.However, despite this, Liverpool seem to have other plans for the right-back in the near future, with this being his chance to make a real name for himself.Photo by Sebastian Frej/Getty ImagesLiverpool hope to loan Calvin Ramsay out in JanuaryRamsay was held in very high regard when he first arrived from Aberdeen in 2021, but injuries have severely disrupted his progress.

Now 22, it is getting to the point where it feels like make or break for him at Liverpool, with Under-21s manager Rob Page confirming that their plan is to now loan him out in search of valuable minutes.‘I’ve been really impressed [with Ramsay],” Page told This Is Anfield. “I think it’s been a conscious effort among a lot of people, the medical team, sports science, coaches, members of staff, to get him into a position now where in January we can seriously be looking about getting a club to go out on loan or seeing what the next step is for Rambo.”Ramsay has been on loan four times before already, playing for Preston, Bolton, Wigan and Kilmarnock, although he failed to kick on while playing for any of these.READ MORE: Trent Alexander-Arnold says three Liverpool players messaged him when they drew Real MadridNow, this could be his last chance to seriously make an impact, as if not, he might find himself being sold very quickly afterwards.

Calvin Ramsay could get minutes for Liverpool if he staysRamsay’s start against Palace in the EFL Cup came as a big surprise to many, with this being the first time he had played for the first-team in over 1,000 days.The reason why he got the chance, though, was because Jeremie Frimpong was injured, something Reds fans have become all too familiar with already this season. The Dutchman has failed to impress when given the opportunity, and now that he is out for around six weeks, that leaves just Ramsay and Conor Bradley as the recognised right-backs.Of course, Dominik Szoboszlai could play there as well, but as he is so important in the middle of the park, it might be best if Ramsay was the one who got minutes if Bradley is rested.So, between now and the new year the Scotsman might get the chance to impress further, with it possible that they then do not send him out on loan if he shows his worth.
