However, one on-loan youngster has suffered a tough blow at a cruel time.

The senior side has not been completely injury-free, and Slot has had to find solutions to absences for key players like Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konate and Trent Alexander-Arnold at times this season.

Bradley serves as a glowing example to Liverpool's loan cohort.



After a brilliant spelll with Bolton in League One, the Northern Irishman found himself integrated into the Anfield ranks, and could be on the cusp of a regular starting place if Alexander-Arnold does not agree a new deal.

One man who would have been hoping to follow a similar path is Calum Scanlon.

Intending to capitalize on his progress, Liverpool arranged a loan to Millwall last summer.

But the teenager suffered a stress back fracture on his debut.

Finally returning in the new year, he even recorded a goal for his loan club in just his second game back.

Calum Scanlon scored on only his third appearance for Millwall in an injury-hit loan spell.
