Liverpool attacker Bobby Adekanye has bounced back from a worrying injury.
Liverpool youngster Bobby Adekanye has been earning praise from under-23s coach Neil Critchley.
Last month Adekanye was stretchered off in a defeat to Arsenal and there were fears he could have sustained a serious injury.
Fortunately the talented attacker was back training within days and over the last fortnight he has made a positive impact.
Speaking to Liverpool’s official website, Critchley praised Adekanye, while stating that the 19-year-old winger still has a lot of work to do.
He said: “His performance after two-and-a-half weeks out against Red Star Belgrade was really encouraging. I thought it was a terrific game from him but unfortunately it was probably another game you could probably say Bobby could have walked off with the match ball.
“It’s something we have got to work on with Bobby, to improve his consistency of finishing and we are working with him. One thing about Bobby is he has got a great attitude and great belief in himself so we will continue to try and improve that side of his game and we are confident he will get there.”
Adekanye could be a contender for a loan move in January, but this will only be if Liverpool’s coaches feel he is ready.
Right now they are keen to work with him and help the teenager improve.
In early September the Liverpool Echo reported Adekanye had been training with Liverpool’s first team.
If he keeps on impressing for the under-23s, more opportunities to do so will come his way.
