It’s not going to be a quick fix,” Under 21s manager Rob Page told the Liverpool Echo.“It’s a setback for him, but Dannsy is very positive about everything in life, especially football. If anybody can get through this setback, it’s him without doubt.“He has the full support of the medical team and myself and the staff.
He’ll get through it.”READ MORE: Robbie Savage believes £34m Liverpool player is even better than Kylian MbappeDanns has been described as ‘outrageous’ before when playing for the Under 21s, with Ally McCoist even believing that he is so good that he must leave Liverpool to get a chance to play for England one day.Jayden Danns’ injury record is becoming a big worryDanns is held in high regard at Liverpool and is well respected by other teams too, with Sunderland taking him on loan for the second half of last season.However, a big injury meant he never actually played a game for them during their promotion season, with that being one of the big chances he has missed out on.With the Carabao Cup in full swing and the FA Cup starting fairly soon, Danns will also feel that he has been robbed of even more minutes with the first-team.He is still only 19, though, so he still has plenty of time to develop, although he will need to swiftly overcome these injuries to avoid being seen as a liability.
