Ahead of the fixture, Paul Joyce of the Times has revealed that all of Kieran Morrison, Calvin Ramsay, and Wellity Lucky are in with a shot of making the matchday squad on Wednesday evening: “Kieran Morrison, 18, a right-sided midfielder who was involved in all five goals when Liverpool beat Eintracht Frankfurt 5-4 in the UEFA Youth League last week, is among the rookies who could feature in the squad.” “The right back Calvin Ramsay, whose most recent senior appearance came in a Carabao Cup tie with Derby County in November 2022, is another who could come into contention, along with 19-year-old centre back Wellity Lucky, who has been training with the first team.” Calvin Ramsay is no doubt a forgotten Liverpool man for many fans after being signed in 2022 for £4.2m from Scottish side Aberdeen. Meanwhile, Wellity Lucky has had time training with the first team last season already.

Born in Zaragoza to Nigerian parents, Lucky joined Liverpool’s academy at the U13 level and has steadily progressed through the youth ranks, signing his first professional contract with the club in April 2023. Lucky is well-regarded by Liverpool, and they pushed for a contract extension towards the end of last season.

Finally, Kieran Morrison signed his first professional contract with the club in April 2024, joined Liverpool’s academy at U14 level after previously developing in Manchester United’s youth system. Morrison has enjoyed a standout campaign with the U21s this season, scoring seven times across competitions and making a big impression in the UEFA Youth League, where he was involved in all five goals during Liverpool’s wild 5-4 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
