Today, Stefan Bajčetić, who has missed the majority of the season due to injury, made another step toward his senior Liverpool comeback. For the first time since mid-September, the Spaniard was included in a starting lineup for the Reds’ U21 team against Sunderland.
Although Bajčetić was substituted during the half, he is still recuperating from his injury. The youthful Reds defeated Manchester United last week at Old Trafford with the 19-year-old playing 30 minutes off the bench, but this was a more challenging performance for the group.
Lewis Koumas gave Liverpool the lead early in the game, but the home team prevailed over Sunderland. Harrison Jones and Tyrur Tutierov’s goals for the Black Cats changed the course of the game.

The match was initiated by Bobby Clark, Trey Nyoni, and James McConnell. However, Barry Lewtas’ team lost because they were unable to challenge the Sunderland goalkeeper frequently enough.
The Liverpool goalkeeper, Fabian Mrozek, was outstanding in keeping his team in the game. Many players found Sunderland to be a physical test, particularly Clark, who received some harsh treatment and was the target of several heavy tackles, subtly demonstrating his impact on the game. Sunderland should have likely won by more than one goal.
While Kaiden Gordon got the game began, Jayden Danns also participated. Although Gordon is still recovering from a lengthy injury, he has shown promise in recent weeks, scoring a goal against Manchester United and playing all 90 minutes every game in 2024.
Liverpool is now tied with Chelsea and Arsenal for sixth place in Premier League 2 as a result of the outcome. In their season-ending match on Sunday, the Reds host the Gunners.
It is encouraging to see Bajčetić gradually regaining his position of prominence, according to Liverpool.com. When the next Reds manager takes over, he will have an immediate advantage if he can return to full strength during the summer. The previous season demonstrated the true brilliance of the former Celta Vigo prodigy.
When he returns to full fitness, he will provide a significant boost to the quality of the Liverpool midfield. That is particularly noteworthy given that the midfield is presently thriving rather than struggling. How amazing would he look with players like Alexis Mac Allister behind him if he was that good when the Reds weren’t playing well?
