"Liverpool" strategist Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Jon Flanagan will not be able to enter the field for several months after knee surgery. The 21-year-old defender played 25 games last season, but this year, due to a summer injury, he has not appeared in any official match. "Young Jon Flanagan, unfortunately, has recently undergone surgery and will likely not play for a few months. It is disappointing," Rodgers said on the club's official website. Liverpool's head coach also revealed that next week, Daniel Sturridge, who was injured while playing for the England national team, will return to training. In addition, Martin Skrtel has already started training, and Glen Johnson will also continue training this week."
