Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward could be the league’s unluckiest player.

Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward looks on during the Barclays Premier League match between Swansea City and Liverpool at The Liberty Stadium on May 1, 2016 in Swansea, Wales.

Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward admitted this week he was missing not playing first team football and he is right to feel aggrieved.

Ward, 24, was the hero for Huddersfield Town last season as the Terriers clinched a shock promotion.

The on loan stopper helped Huddersfield win a semi-final penalty shootout against Sheffield Wednesday, the highlight of an outstanding season in Yorkshire.

Unfortunately for Ward he was denied the opportunity to follow it up.

Liverpool did not loan him back to Huddersfield or sell him, and the Terriers bought German stopper Jonas Lossl, who has been impressive.

Ward was denied the opportunity to move entirely, and has barely even made the Liverpool’s substitutes bench.

It is easy to see why Ward will be frustrated.

Last season he was playing every week, and had huge success.

This campaign he is sitting watching from the stands, while Liverpool goalkeepers Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius fail to convince.

Ward might just be the league’s unluckiest player based on his current predicament and most recent achievements, and desperately needs a move away from Anfield.
