Ben Doak May Miss the Rest of the Season Due to Injury
Liverpool fans have had a tough week, and the bad news might continue with a potential injury setback for Ben Doak.
According to The Northern Echo, Michael Carrick commented on Doak’s chances of returning this season, saying, “It could go both ways. We’re in touch with Liverpool, and he’s back there now, so we’ll stay in contact. Without making assumptions, we’ll take things as they come.”
This is a significant blow for the 19-year-old winger, who has impressed at Middlesbrough during his loan spell, recording three goals and seven assists in 24 games. Although his season isn’t officially over, concerns are growing that he may not play again before the campaign concludes.
Teammate Tommy Conway has praised Doak’s confidence and impact since joining Middlesbrough, and his performances have certainly caught attention.
With Liverpool potentially reshaping their attack this summer, Doak could have an opportunity to earn playing time under Arne Slot next season. However, injuries have already hindered the former Celtic prospect’s progress, raising concerns. Middlesbrough initially expected him back in training weeks ago, but his recovery has taken longer than anticipated.
As the season winds down, Doak’s main focus should be regaining full fitness ahead of pre-season to give himself the best chance of securing a future at Anfield.
