There were mixed fortunes this week for Liverpool’s Academy teams ahead of the new season\"JaydenJayden Danns of Liverpool(Image: Liverpool FC\/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)<\/p>\n

Only a handful of Academy prospects ultimately made the trip with the Liverpool first team to the Far East this month. But that hasn’t stopped those left behind from issuing a reminder of their worth to Arne Slot.<\/p>\n

Chief among those is Jayden Danns, the striker who netted under the Dutchman last season but whose campaign was curtailed by a back problem that ultimately scuppered a proposed loan to then-Championship side Sunderland.<\/p>\n

Danns has subsequently continued his rehabilitation at Kirkby<\/a> and took another step forward by marking his return to action for the first time since January by netting a penalty in the under-21’s 3-1 friendly win over French side Lens on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

There was a goal, too, for Kaide Gordon,<\/a> who also netted twice in the previous week’s 8-0 romp over Celtic. The 20-year-old winger experienced disappointing loan spells in the Championship with Norwich City and Portsmouth last season and will be hoping for more first-team experience this term.<\/p>\n

Completing the scoring for Rob Page’s side was Keyrol Figueroa, who also bagged against Celtic.<\/p>\n

“It was a competitive game throughout and there were valuable minutes for everyone at this stage of pre-season,” said player-coach Jay Spearing. “It was also great to see Jayden Danns back on the pitch.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve got a couple more tests to come now in the coming weeks which we\u2019re looking forward to.”<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a> U18s, who drew 1-1 with West Ham United in a friendly on Saturday at St George’s Park, continued their preparations for the new campaign with a 4-1 defeat against Blackpool at the Academy on Wednesday. Ellis Hickman scored the Reds’ goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There were mixed fortunes this week for Liverpool’s Academy teams ahead of the new seasonJayden Danns of Liverpool(Image:…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305465,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,112297,179,763,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-305464","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-kaide-gordon","12":"tag-liverpool","13":"tag-liverpool-fc","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114945483332363127","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
