Liverpool loanee Allan undergoes shoulder operation

Liverpool have cut short Allan Rodrigues de Souza’s loan spell at Apollon Limassol so that the midfielder can undergo surgery on a shoulder injury.

The Brazilian went under the knife earlier this week and faces up to four months on the sidelines, ending his spell in Cyprus.

Allan has been troubled by a series of shoulder dislocations this season, and Liverpool were keen to get him operated on early so that he will be fit to return to action as early as possible during pre-season.

The 21-year-old has enjoyed a mixed campaign with Apollon, making 16 appearances but finding his progress limited by recurrent injury issues.
