Liverpool to recall Woodburn early from Sheffield loan

Liverpool are set to bring Ben Woodburn's season-long loan at Sheffield United to a premature end, with the club ready to take their time before making a decision over the future of the teenager.

The 19-year-old has returned to Liverpool following an unsuccessful loan spell with the Championship side. Woodburn was brought back to Melwood last month for treatment on an ankle injury, having not featured for the Blades since a 10-minute substitute appearance against Nottingham Forest on November 3.

Liverpool have not formally announced the end of the Wales international’s season-long loan at Bramall Lane, but he will not be returning to Yorkshire.
