Liverpool attacking midfielder James Balagizi underwent successful surgery after sustaining a groin injury earlier this month.
This season, Liverpool have had a lot of trouble with injuries at multiple different positions. Right now, a defensive injury crisis is evident, with Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate out injured, with Trent Alexander-Arnold only recently fit enough to start on the bench at the weekend.
This led to James Milner being used in an unfamiliar right-back role against Premier League champions Manchester City, a match in which Liverpool were victorious.
It’s not just Liverpool’s first-team squad struggling with injuries, but one of their youngsters who was on loan has just had groin surgery.

Liverpool have officially announced that attacking midfielder Balagizi has undergone successful surgery after returning to the club from his loan spell with Crawley Town.
The 19-year-old signed a new contract with Liverpool in June and there was hope the loan spell would prepare him for first-team football.
The youngster is highly rated in the club and England setup as he suffered his injury while playing for England U19s.
Balagizi began his youth career at Liverpool, before joining Manchester City. A couple of years later, the midfielder returned to Liverpool, where he has been ever since.
