Liverpool hope youngster will avoid long spell on sidelines
Liverpool expect to learn the full extent of Bobby Adekanye's knee injury in the next 24 hours. The Dutch youth international was stretchered off in the closing stages of Friday night's 4-0 defeat to Arsenal in Premier League 2. Adekanye received oxygen after landing awkwardly following a foul and he left Boreham Wood's Meadow Park on crutches. The 19-year-old winger has heavy swelling around his right knee but is now able to walk unaided. Liverpool hope that's a sign that it's not as bad as first feared. Adekanye has enjoyed a fine start to the season and an extended spell on the sidelines would be a crushing setback for him.

Liverpool hoping to work with LeBron James as part of US plans
Liverpool are hoping to link up with LeBron James during next month's pre-season tour of America. The NBA superstar has been a minority stakeholder in the Reds since striking a deal with Fenway Sports Group back in 2011.

Reds CEO Peter Moore told the Sports with Friends podcast: "I think you can credit Tom Werner for LeBron's involvement here. He's a very interesting part of our portfolio and our family. "We look forward hopefully to seeing him on our travels in the United States once we come over. “He has a small stake in the club, but he's visited Liverpool, attended games.

Liverpool hoping experience not everything in final against Real
Liverpool will attempt to end Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid's recent dominance in the Champions League when the sides meet in Saturday's final in Kiev, with Reds manager Jurgen Klopp insisting experience is not everything. The goals of Mohamed Salah have helped the English side reach their first final in 11 years, but this has been a golden era in Europe for Real. The Spanish giants are targeting their fourth Champions League title in five years and their third in a row in the game, which kicks off at 1845 GMT. The last team to win three in a row was Bayern Munich over 40 years ago. None of Klopp's players have appeared in a Champions League final before. "Experience is important. I'm pretty sure that in the seconds before the game Real will be more confident than we are, but that's not important because the game doesn't end in that moment, it only starts," said Klopp, who lost the 2013 final with Borussia Dortmund. Real's 12 European Cup wins puts them way ahead of the rest, but … [Read more...] about Liverpool hoping experience not everything in final against Real
