Liverpool youngster Josh Abe has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering a serious injury while on international duty.<\/p>\n

Abe, the 15-year-old winger who has made a huge impact with the under-18s this season, picked up the issue when part of the England U16s squad for a recent tournament in Antalya in Turkey with games against Denmark, Spain and France.<\/p>\n

Having scored against Denmark earlier in the week, Abe appeared to hurt his left knee when falling awkwardly under a challenge early on in the 2-1 defeat to France on Thursday but was able to play on for a further 15 minutes before having to eventually limp off.<\/p>\n

And the player revealed on Instagram over the weekend that he won’t play again this campaign due to the issue.<\/p>\n

“Tough one to take having my season cut short, but everything happens for a reason,\u201d posted Abe.<\/p>\n

The teenager will now return to Liverpool<\/a> to have the injury assessed before he begins his rehabilitation programme.<\/p>\n

Abe has been in impressive form for the U18s, scoring eight times in 10 U18 Premier League<\/a> North appearances including a hat-trick against Leeds United last time out, while also becoming the youngest player to represent Liverpool in the UEFA Youth League.<\/p>\n

Those showings have seen the youngster catch the eye of a number of clubs including Manchester City and Chelsea, and he was recently given a tour of Real Madrid’s facilities having signed up with Tyler Alexander-Arnold’s PLG Agency.<\/p>\n

Liverpool,<\/a> though, are keen to hold on to Abe and have offered him a scholarship. Last month Abe was invited to take part in training alongside Arne Slot’s<\/a> first-team squad.<\/p>\n
