Liverpool fullback Calvin Ramsay confirms new surgery

Liverpool fullback Calvin Ramsay has confirmed he has undergone surgery.

The Scottish youngster joined the Reds from Aberdeen over the summer, but injury saw his first-team bow delayed. Liverpool opted to go ahead with the signing despite discovering an injury during Ramsay's medical, with the teenager signing a five-year contract.

Ramsay made his long-awaited senior debut in early November, coming off the bench in a Champions League group stage victory over Napoli. His first start came just over a week later, against Derby in the EFL Cup, but he hasn't featured since.

The 19-year-old shared a photo from a hospital bed on his Instagram account on Thursday night. 'Surgery went well, time to rest, recover and come back stronger!' read the caption.

A number of the Scot's club team-mates shared messages of support in the comments section, including compatriot Andy Robertson and Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson. Youngsters Layton Stewart and Bobby Clark both wished him a speedy recovery, while Harvey Elliott - himself sidelined by injury for several months last season - said 'You got this lad'.
