Today, Calvin Ramsay, a young player from Liverpool, had his first appearance in a competitive match for Preston North End, his loan team, since January.
The Scottish youth international was included in the Lilywhites’ U-21 starting lineup for their Lancashire Senior Cup match against Accrington Stanley earlier today.
Today is a huge step in the right way for Ramsay in his quest to get healthy, as he hasn’t played any football since January due to an injury. Championship football is the next logical step.
Although Ramsay has spent most of his time in England recovering from injuries and fitness concerns, Liverpool signed the Aberdeen-born defender last year.
Ramsay has been hailed by Jurgen Klopp as a “exceptional” prospect. His potential is evident to all, and the defender’s ability to play today will be crucial to his eventual return to the first squad.
Soon, Ramsay will be starting for Preston
Ramsay, who moved from Aberdeen last year, will be aching to experience English football for the first time after being sidelined for much of the year.
After an injury-plagued stint playing outside of Scotland, Ramsay could finally blossom into the explosive fullback that Liverpool supporters know he is at Preston.
Ramsay may still need some time to reach his peak, but today’s play will be crucial to the defender’s return to the pitch, especially with championship football this year maybe in the offing.
