Overview
- Voetbal International and the Liverpool Echo report the season-long loan will be curtailed, with McConnell expected back at Anfield in January.
- McConnell has made just seven appearances totaling 219 minutes, with his opportunities shrinking after John Heitinga was dismissed in early November.
- West Brom, Derby County, Oxford United and Swansea City have been linked as potential destinations for a fresh Championship loan, according to the Daily Mail.
- Liverpool could use McConnell in the FA Cup against Barnsley on January 12, which would make a further loan impossible this season under the two-club rule.
- McConnell signed a new five-year Liverpool contract in August, and Ajax are poised to seek a more experienced No. 6 in the January market.
