Stefan Bajcetic - Page 2 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Yet to resume training Bajcetic (calf) is still not training with the squad with manager Jurgen Klopp telling reporters Wednesday, "No, not in team training."

Impact Bajcetic's continued absence from training indicates he won't be back in action in the short term and could even be looking at being out through the November international break, though the club hasn't provided a specific recovery timeline. Even once cleared to play, the midfielder will likely be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI considering he was an unused substitute four times and has made just one appearance.

Out versus Everton Bajcetic (calf) isn't an option for Saturday's derby with Everton.

Impact Bajcetic will remain sidelined through the break after missing the last four matches, leaving Liverpool a little short-handed in the midfield.

Hopeful to return during break Bajcetic continues to battle a calf injury, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "It's as annoying as it is for [Stefan] Bajcetic, who was there, played a few minutes and then played...

Impact Bajcetic suffered the calf issue two weeks ago in the opening UEL match and hasn't appeared since. Calf injuries are tricky and there's no guarantee he'll be ready to play after the break, but that'll be the goal for him having already missed the majority of the season due to his prior groin injury.

Still out Thursday Bajcetic (calf) will remain unavailable versus Union SG on Thursday.

Impact With his absence Thursday, Bajcetic should be considered a doubt ahead of Sunday's clash with Brighton. Even once cleared to play, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI considering he had made just one appearance this season and was an unused substitute four times.

Out against Spurs Bajcetic (calf) will miss Saturday's clash with Spurs after picking up a calf injury, manager Jurgen Klopp announced. "Stefan had a little, little setback. The problem with Stefan...

Impact Bajcetic's injury woes continue in an incredibly disappointing twist for the young midfielder. The only silver lining is that he wasn't likely to see much Premier League action either way. The first chance for Bajcetic to return from this injury will be a Thursday clash with Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.

Starts at right-back Bajcetic started at right-back and created two chances during Thursday's 3-1 win over LASK.

Impact Bajcetic got his first minutes with the senior team during Thursday's 3-1 win, starting at right-back. It's not his natural role but with Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring) out and Joe Gomez getting some rest it was the young Bajcetic who got the start. With the variety of additions Liverpool made in the Summer Bajcetic will likely see fewer first team chances in 2023/24.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets run with Spain U21s Bajcetic trained and appeared off the bench in a match for the Spain U21s during the international break.

Impact It's a good sign for Bajcetic, who should be fairly healthy having been back training and in the squad for more than a couple weeks. He fell into a key role last season out of necessity prior to injury, but now that he's healthy with a bunch of new signings, it's unknown what kind of role he'll have for the Reds this season.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes bench Saturday Bajcetic (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Bournemouth.

Impact This is a surprising turn of events, as manager Jurgen Klopp said Friday that Bajcetic was "really close, but not there yet" when it comes to his availability to face the Cherries. The young midfielder might see minutes if needed, but expect the coaching staff to try and avoid risks with him considering he hasn't played since March.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Closer to returning Bajcetic (groin) is closer to making a return, but will not be an option for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth. "Stefan Bajcetic, really close but not there yet. Obviously we re...

Impact Bajcetic could see action as soon as Aug 27 against Newcastle United as he is inching closer to a return to the squad. He underwent groin surgery in March, starting just six times in 11 appearances last season. The midfielder could see limited time on the pitch when he returns until he regains full fitness.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready for Sunday Bajcetic is not in the match day squad to face Chelsea on Sunday.

Impact Bajcetic misses out on Sunday's match as he continues to recover from a groin injury. The midfielder was seen in training during the buildup to the match, so he could return as soon as next week against Bournemouth.

AUGUST 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted in training Bajcetic (groin) was pictured in training Wednesday ahead of Sunday's trip to Chelsea.

Impact Bajcetic took part in training Wednesday after sitting on the sideline throughout pre-season. With no participation in friendlies it's more likely than not that Bajcetic is not going to be fit before Sunday's trip to Chelsea. Still the defensive midfielder impressed in 2022-23 and could be in line for an ever-increasing role when fit.

Hopeful for pre-season camp Bajcetic (groin) continues to work on his recovery and manager Jurgen Klopp is hopeful he'll be ready for pre-season training. "There's no real timeline that you say after six week...

Impact Bajcetic still has more than a month before pre-season camp, so he should be near full strength and ready to go once that starts up. He had surgery about two months ago and is still in the early stages of recovery, so he's on the correct timeline. If all goes well, he'll be able to work up his fitness in the pre-season with his teammates.

Impact Bajcetic will be sidelined for the rest of the season after suffering a serious adductor injury. The midfielder had made seven starts in 15 appearances in all competitions this campaign, totaling one goal with 15 tackles (10 won) and 10 interceptions in that span. This injury could not come at a worst time with the team fighting for a top four spot in the Premier League. He will join Luiz Diaz and Thiago Alacantara as big midfielders out on injuries, with Fabinho, Cody Gakpo and James Milner expected to run the center of the midfield for the remaining of the year.

FEBRUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Signs long-term contract Bajcetic agreed to terms on a long-term deal with Liverpool on Thursday.

Impact The club didn't announce specifics regarding the length of Bajcetic's new deal. The midfielder has made seven appearances (one start) in Premier League and Champions League action this season, recording a combined one goal on three shots (two on target), two crosses (one accurate) and three tackles (three won). While Bajcetic is unlikely to feature prominently in the starting XI, he should be in contention on a week-to-week basis.

JANUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opens account Stefan Bajcetic scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Monday's 3-1 win against Aston Villa.

Impact Bajcetic scored his first career goal late on in Monday's win. Darwin Nunez created the space for Bajcetic, who made the most of his chance to score the dagger goal. Bajcetic has seen occasional use off the bench but is unlikely to break into the starting XI any time soon.

DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Second Champions League appearance Stefan Bajcetic had one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-0 victory against Ajax.

Impact Bajcetic came off the pitch for 19 minutes during his second career Champions League appearance. The midfielder isn't worth considering for fantasy purposes, though he seems to be earning the trust of manager Jurgen Klopp with his slowly increasing role in the Champions League, and on the bench in the Premier League.
