"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. He'll get through it."It marks another devastating blow for the young forward, having had a prospective loan spell at Sunderland in the second half of last season ultimately cancelled due to a back problem.Danns regained full fitness in the summer and appeared from the bench in the first team's League Cup victory over Southampton four days before sustaining his latest injury.The forward made his senior Liverpool debut in February 2024 and has since netted three goals in 10 appearances whilst featuring in every major competition, including the League Cup final triumph over Chelsea at Wembley last year.
