Bobby Clark update after Liverpool midfielder misses match amid transfer speculation

Liverpool sent a total of 14 players to the Copa America and European Championship this summer. The late availability of these squad members for the Reds’ pre-season programme ahead of 2024/25 has given others greater opportunities to impress the club’s new head coach.
Sadly, he hasn’t resumed full training since. He missed Klopp’s farewell and has yet to truly work with Slot either. According to the Liverpool Echo , Clark has been working on an individual plan as part of his rehabilitation and is unlikely to be heading to the United States this week for friendlies against Real Betis, Arsenal and Manchester United.
He does at least have time on his side. The 19-year-old is under contract with Liverpool until 2028, so is very unlikely to be leaving on a permanent basis any time soon. Slot is well known for using young players so its reasonable to assume Clark will get opportunities to play later in 2024/25.
But he might have been making a positive impression for the head coach while the likes of Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister were out of the picture. It was not to be. Clark will hope his rehabilitation from his back injury is both swift and effective.
Liverpool.com says: Klopp was clearly a fan of Clark. The youngster was included in the match day squad 23 times in a spell of 29 games prior to his season-ending injury. Slot should like him too, it will just take a little longer for him to board the Clark train.
