Car ban, salary cap and no phones for Liverpool's Academy stars
Liverpool academy director Alex Inglethorpe has introduced a new 'car ban' for the club's young prospects.
This move comes as part of a broader overhaul of the Academy setup at Kirkby, with a focus on preparing players not only for success on the pitch but also for life beyond football.
In addition to the car ban, Inglethorpe has implemented a £50,000-a-week wage cap for Academy players and ensures that the young athletes are assigned responsibilities.
Chelsea left-back wants Salah to play
Ben Chilwell, the man who would likely be dealing with Mohamed Salah if the Egyptian recovers for the Carabao Cup final, said that he would be happy to take on that challenge.
"I’d love him to play," the Chelsea left-back told the Daily Mail. "You’re playing at Wembley in a cup final. If I’m playing against Salah, it would be exciting."
Michail Antonio apologises for 'very wild' Liverpool comments
"At the beginning of the season I said a comment," West Ham forward Michail Antonio said on the Footballer’s Football podcast.
“It was a bit wild. It was very wild. I said that there was a possibility that West Ham could finish above Liverpool this year... They weren’t gelling at all together, I believed we were going to be sixth or seventh. There was so many stats about Klopp having seven or eight years and then having a blip, it was one of those things.
"I was obviously deluded at the time. So I am going to have to hand out a public apology to the Liverpool fans and the Liverpool players. I take it back."
