JAKARTA - Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has sent Owen Beck home from a loan spell at a Scottish club in January 2024. In fact, the 21-year-old left back has only expired at the end of this season.

However, Liverpool is being hit by a storm of injuries to the left back. Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas will be sidelined for a long time. For that reason, Klopp called Beck home.

In addition to the need factor, the German manager saw that Owen Beck's potential was not optimal during the loan.

Klopp is known to care about young players. He doesn't want anything to interfere with the development of his young players and make his potential stagnate.

Owen Beck's repatriation has indeed been taken into account because Klopp saw the left-back not very successful with Bolton Wanderers andmen in the last two seasons.

Owen Beck only collected five games with Bolton and 17 parties for fun. At the last club, Beck actually contributed enough with two goals, but Klopp still thinks it's not too maximal, especially if he doesn't get the right support.

"We're really positive for Owen, but he's had two difficult loan times. A lot of things can happen when you move out of the house," Klopp said at ESPN.

"There has to be the right manager, the right team. Other experienced left-backs are already there, a lot of things can happen."

"The situation here is clear, we lost two left-backs. So, the players we like are available. We bring them back. That's all," said Klopp.

Due to the reason for the need at once for the maximum potential of Owen Beck, Klopp must end the loan period more quickly.

In addition, the Daily Mail reported, the German manager also rejected a proposal from Rangers interested in borrowing Owen Beck.
