Liverpool name Jayden Danns in squad for first time since Sept

Jayden Danns has been named in Liverpool’s matchday squad on Wednesday, his first inclusion since last September, according to a report.

As first reported by James Pearce, the selection ends a lengthy spell out of first-team contention for the forward, whose last involvement came for the League Cup tie against Southampton in September last year.

The reporting indicates only that Danns is part of the matchday group and does not confirm whether he starts or will be among the substitutes. It places him back in contention for involvement later in the fixture if required.

No further details on the circumstances of his return or the specific role planned for him were disclosed in the piece. Even so, being named in the squad represents a tangible step towards first-team minutes should the opportunity arise.
