Overview
- Liverpool posted images showing Stefan Bajcetic training on the grass with the squad during the club’s pre-season sessions in Chicago on Thursday.
- Head coach Andoni Iraola said Bajcetic and Wataru Endo were close to stepping up and would begin partial group work during the tour.
- Bajcetic shared an Instagram post captioned “Paid off” after the session, a public sign of his personal satisfaction with the recovery steps.
- The 21-year-old has not played for Liverpool since May 2024 and missed all of last season after recurring injuries and a hamstring operation in May 2025.
- Liverpool will continue incremental load management so he is nearer to match availability than he has been since 2024 but is not expected to be rushed straight into competitive action.
