Liverpool winger Harvey Blair is among a number of young players expected to leave the club on loan this month, with clubs from England, Denmark and Belgium interested.
Blair saw a temporary transfer collapse in the summer as long-term injuries thwarted interest from Reading, Portsmouth, Burton Albion, Leyton Orient, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.

Steele added that clubs in both Denmark and Belgium were also “keeping an eye on” the player, who made his surprise debut for the first team in the 2021 Carabao Cup fourth round win over Preston 2-0.
Despite starting in the tie and playing 55 minutes, Blair has not made any more senior appearances and in fact has barely trained with Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Carvalho is one of four loanees recalled, with Owen Beck, Rhys Williams and James Balaziji also recalled, while Nat Phillips is expected to complete his spell at Celtic.
Right-back Calvin Ramsey has also been left out of Preston’s last six games, and there is speculation over his possible call-up.
Jakub Odzinski’s spot at Den Bosch could also be in doubt, with the Dutch second-division team signing West Ham goalkeeper Christian Hegy on loan on Monday, likely to replace Odzinski. This is likely because he will be used as a backup to Joey Roggeveen.
