Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, seemed enthusiastic about Stefan Bajcetic.
Many young players came off the bench in Liverpool’s Carabao Cup final victory over Chelsea.
A notable success story for the Liverpool development ranks included the contributions of Bobby Clark, James McConnell, Jarell Quansah, and Jayden Danns.
But Stefan Bajcetic was absent, as his challenging season went on.
The 19-year-old made his debut during the previous season, but he has struggled with an adductor during the current campaign.
Bajcetic has played just 72 minutes of action in all competitions and hasn’t kicked a ball in the Premier League.
For Bajcetic, who ought to have been among the young players creating history in the Carabao Cup final, this has been a lost season.
Jurgen Klopp comments on Stefan Bajcetic.
It is hoped that Bajcetic will return as soon as possible, particularly now that he has impressed Jurgen Klopp.
According to Anfield Watch, Klopp acknowledged that he didn’t understand why Bajcetic wasn’t playing for Liverpool at the time.
When Klopp watched Bajcetic jogging around and increasing his level of fitness on the Liverpool training pitch, he was astounded.
The Liverpool manager stated that he has no say over Bajcetic’s return since he feels there has to be a cause for his absence.
Although Klopp thinks Bajcetic is “completely pain-free” for the moment, starting him in the first team will have to wait.
“I watched him train here while eating lunch. “I was sitting there thinking, ‘Why is he not playing?'” Klopp remarked. He’s becoming fitter now. He’s giggling and saying, “Wow!” He is working tirelessly, but he hasn’t received approval for us to begin team training yet. There may be a few reasons, as no one in this building is trying to stop him.
“What’s most crucial is that he is pain-free, entirely pain-free. All of our exams and scans show that the bone is in good condition. Now that we’ve decided to utilize him again in regular training, all we need to do is make sure that the opportunity arrives because football is an extremely physically demanding activity. I think he looks fine, but I’m not sure how good. I can’t make up my mind. He said, “Nobody told me he would be back soon.”
Bajcetic, who has already demonstrated significant talent in the Reds engine room, will be a welcomed addition to the Liverpool team.
It will sting a little that he missed Sunday’s game and saw other young players steal the show, and when he does return, we believe the Spaniard will be driven to make up for lost time.
