Liverpool’s Josh Abe sidelined for three months after shoulder op
The young Liverpool winger is expected to miss around three months after undergoing shoulder surgery, with the recovery timeline understood to be an estimate subject to rehabilitation progress.
Liverpool winger Josh Abe is expected to be sidelined for about three months after shoulder surgery. News of it was broken by James Pearce on Friday.
The report states the operation has been completed, with an initial timeframe that would keep the youngster out for a sizeable spell at the start of the campaign. It adds that the estimate reflects a typical recovery window for this type of procedure and could shift as his rehabilitation progresses.
While no official club announcement is cited, the update underlines two firm points: Abe has undergone surgery and a provisional return horizon has been set. In practical terms, his immediate focus will be on rest and conditioning before any move back into team training.
The three-month guidance suggests he may be unavailable until well into the autumn, but any comeback date will be dictated by medical advice and how he responds to the programme. Players returning from shoulder operations are usually advanced through staged, non-contact work before resuming full-contact sessions.
Further specifics, such as the precise nature of the shoulder issue or a targeted fixture for his return, are not included in the report. For now, Liverpool will plan without Abe as he begins the first phase of his recovery.
