From Stefan Bajcetic to Kaide Gordon, many Reds players departed on a temporary basis in the summer of 2024.

Let’s find out how they are getting on so far.

Stefan Bajcetic

Promising defensive midfielder Bajcetic joined Pep Lijnders’ Red Bull Salzburg on loan in August.

Bajcetic, 19, has only featured once in the league and once in the Champions League.

He made his debut for RB Salzburg in a 3-0 defeat at Sparta Prague, before being taken off after 83 minutes.

Bajcetic featured for RB Salzburg in their 0-0 draw against WSG Tirol in the Austrian Bundesliga.

The Spaniard will spend the rest of the season on loan in Austria, before returning to Anfield to hopefully add to his 12 league appearances made for the Reds so far.

Calvin Ramsay and Luke Chambers

Liverpool right-back Calvin Ramsay joined Wigan Athletic on loan in June, the third club he has been loaned out to in the past year.

Ramsay, 21, made his Wigan Athletic debut in a 1-0 defeat at home to Charlton Athletic on the opening day of the League One season.

The Scotsman has yet to make a league start for the inconsistent Latics in League One, he has often come on as a substitute for James Carragher, son of Jamie.

Ramsay’s only start for the Latics came in a penalty shootout defeat to Barnsley in the Carabao Cup.

A year Ramsay’s junior, left-back Luke Chambers is also on loan from Liverpool.

Chambers has started every league game for the Latics thus far in League One, having been on loan in Greater Manchester last season.

Wigan have kept four clean sheets in their opening seven league games.

Ben Doak

Winger Ben Doak joined Championship side Middlesbrough on loan from Liverpool at the end of the transfer window.

Doak, 18, made his debut for Middlesbrough in a 1-1 draw against Preston North End on 14th September.

The winger also featured in a 1-0 defeat against Sunderland, receiving a booking for committing a foul.

Doak is still warming his way into his loan spell at Middlesbrough, where he is under the management of former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick.

After missing most of last season because of knee surgery, Doak will be keen to make an impact in the north-east.

Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams

Liverpool’s lockdown defensive duo Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams, both currently find themselves out on loan in the EFL.

Phillips, 27, now finds himself at Derby County, making two appearances thus far for the Rams in the Championship.

His two appearances came off the bench, in a 1-0 win over Cardiff City, and a 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United.

Williams, 23, finds himself on loan at Morecambe in the fourth tier of English football.

He has featured five times in League Two for Morecambe thus far, after making his debut in late August.

Williams has been a regular feature in a Morecambe defence that has consistently leaked goals of late.
