Overview
- Speaking on Ben Foster’s Fozcast, the 32-year-old said the label has haunted him despite most of his setbacks being contact injuries.
- He tore his ACL against Roma in April 2018 and missed a year before returning to make the squad for the 2019 Champions League final.
- He said he was an unused substitute in the 2022 League Cup final and was dropped from the FA Cup final squad on the day of the game, which he found devastating.
- He believes he was kept on the periphery after his recovery and not restored quickly enough to quell doubts about his durability.
- A £35m signing who made 146 Liverpool appearances and won major honors, he is now without a club after an injury-affected spell at Besiktas.
