Ben Woodburn has returned from Sheffield United to Liverpool for treatment after damaging his ankle.

The 19-year-old forward was injured during a training session with the Blades and has now returned to Melwood where his injury will be assessed further.

The full extent of the injury is not yet known and it is unclear how long Woodburn will be sidelined for.

Woodburn has struggled for regular game-time since joining Sheffield United on a season-long loan in August. The Wales international has made just two starts in all competitions this season, appearing as a substitute in six further games.
