Calvin Ramsay Returns to Full Training After Two-and-a-Half-Month Injury Layoff

Liverpool loanee Calvin Ramsay has returned to full training with Preston North End following a two-and-a-half-month injury layoff, with his first game back now revealed. Since joining Liverpool from Aberdeen in 2022, Ramsay has been hampered by long-term back and knee injuries, preventing him from making his debut at Preston.

However, the 20-year-old has now rejoined full training with his loan club, having worked on his recovery back at the AXA Training Centre, and is due to feature in the Lancashire Senior Cup semi-final against Accrington Stanley on November 7.

Ramsay’s Return: A Big Smile on His Face

Manager Ryan Lowe is pleased for Ramsay’s return, telling the Lancashire Post on Thursday: “It has been a tough time for him hasn’t it? He came to us in pre-season, on loan, and he wasn’t quite right. He then had to go back and reset his programme for his knee.

“He’s got a big smile on his face and he loves being here. We want him getting competitive football for as long as he’s here.”

Lowe sees Ramsay as a “different option” that can provide competition going forward, with Brad Potts cemented as first-choice right-back and Duane Holmes impressing further forward.

Ramsay’s Liverpool Career So Far

Ramsay joined Liverpool in 2022 from Aberdeen for an undisclosed fee, but injuries have so far prevented him from making an impact at Anfield. He was sent out on loan to Preston North End in the summer of 2023, but has yet to make a competitive appearance for the club.

The 20-year-old has been working hard to regain fitness at the AXA Training Centre, and is now set to make his debut in the Lancashire Senior Cup semi-final against Accrington Stanley on November 7.

Ramsay’s Future at Preston

It remains to be seen how Ramsay will figure for Preston for the remainder of the campaign, but Lowe is confident that he can make an impact once he is up to speed.

He said: “He’s a good player. We’ve got to get him up to speed, don’t get me wrong, but it’s nice to have him around and if you ask him I’m sure he’d say the same thing.

“He’s a little bit off the pace, I must say, until we get him up to speed. But, once we get him up to speed he’s a very good player. Of course he will [be a threat]. You only have to look at the way Liverpool’s full-backs play, so if he can do anywhere near that – like Trent does – then he will be good for us, of course.”

Preston are currently ninth in the Championship, having gone top of the table in mid-September, with there a chance Ramsay makes the bench on Saturday vs. Coventry.
