Liverpool to exercise clause in January in case of injuries – Decision after Thursday meeting

Liverpool secured a recall clause in Ifeanyi Ndukwe's loan deal with Levante and will decide in January whether to bring the 18-year-old centre-back back early if injuries strike.

Liverpool have built a unilateral recall option into Ifeanyi Ndukwe's loan agreement with La Liga side Levante, allowing them to cut short his spell in the winter market if needed due to injuries. The 18-year-old centre-back, who signed from Austria Wien in January but couldn't obtain a UK work permit, joined Levante on loan in August and has since featured in five league matches. Liverpool officials travelled to Spain for a meeting to discuss the clause's activation criteria.
