Liverpool are set to terminate Marcelo Pitaluga’s loan deal with non-league side Macclesfield, despite the 19-year-old making a strong impression in the first half of the campaign.
The reason for this is said to be the result of the goalkeeper suffering an ankle ligament injury and the young Brazilian will now return to his parent club Liverpool for treatment, Football Insider reports.
Pitaluga joined Macclesfield on loan this summer to gain more experience as Liverpool’s top two goalkeepers will play all of their games.
The Premier League giants will now recall the club’s goalkeeper and look to loan him out again once he recovers from his injury, which will likely be to a side that plays at a higher level than Macclesfield.
