Liverpool fans may soon witness a familiar face returning to action, as a key academy talent edges closer to ending a prolonged spell on the sidelines.
According to Lewis Bower on X, “we will see Stefan Bajcetic with Liverpool U21s soon.”
The 21-year-old midfielder has endured a difficult couple of years since his breakthrough under Jurgen Klopp in 2022, which included a Champions League start against Real Madrid. Injuries disrupted his momentum, with an adductor problem cutting short his debut season and hamstring surgery in May causing him to miss the summer pre-season tour.
Recent updates from Lewis Steele suggest that Bajcetic is “getting closer to match fitness” and has been actively involved in training at Kirkby.
Arne Slot’s decision to keep him at Liverpool this season, despite interest from several European clubs, highlights the manager’s continued faith in the Spaniard’s potential.
Midfield competition is fierce this term following the arrivals of Florian Wirtz and the rise of Ryan Gravenberch, yet Bajcetic’s technical skill and composure on the ball make him a distinctive option in the middle of the park.
Featuring for Rob Page’s U21s in the coming weeks could represent the first step toward a senior return—offering valuable depth as the Reds aim to rediscover form after the 3–2 defeat at Brentford.
With Calvin Ramsay set to earn first-team opportunities due to his academy performances, Bajcetic will be supporting from the sidelines, hoping his moment arrives soon.
It has been a tough journey for the young Spaniard, but after months of hard work behind the scenes, Liverpool supporters could soon celebrate a long-awaited return at Anfield.
