Liverpool media stopped from mentioning 2 names

Tensions are running high at Liverpool Football Club as behind-the-scenes developments regarding the potential departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have been strictly kept under wraps.

LFCTV, the club’s official television channel, has reportedly instructed its presenters and pundits not to mention the departing players on live broadcasts, fueling speculation and leaving fans eager for official confirmation.

The recent week saw Liverpool engaging in a training camp in Germany, where they prepared for the upcoming football season and played two friendlies against second-tier German teams.

Their matches resulted in a thrilling 4-2 victory over Karlsruher and a dramatic 4-4 draw with Greuther Fürth.

However, amidst the on-pitch action, Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson appears to be on the verge of joining Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq, a club managed by Reds legend Steven Gerrard.

Reports suggest that Henderson has already undergone a medical examination in Manchester, signaling the end of his remarkable 12-year association with Liverpool as he prepares to make the move to the Saudi Pro League outfit.

Meanwhile, another key player, Fabinho, is also rumored to be heading to the Gulf nation after Al-Ittihad made a £40 million bid for the talented midfielder.

However, complications have emerged as legislation could potentially hinder Fabinho from importing his two French bulldogs into the country, potentially putting the move in jeopardy. Despite this, Al-Ittihad’s president arrived in London on Sunday to continue negotiations for the transfer.

In a surprising twist, LFCTV’s coverage of Liverpool’s friendlies raised eyebrows when it became evident that presenters and pundits were instructed not to mention Henderson and Fabinho amidst the ongoing transfer speculation.

Even as the team faced Greuther Fürth, a side that featured attacker Cody Gakpo in central midfield due to Dominik Szoboszlai’s injury, the departing players were conspicuously absent from the discussion.

The ban on mentioning Henderson and Fabinho on LFCTV broadcasts has kept fans on edge, with many eagerly awaiting official announcements from the club regarding the players’ potential moves.

Speculation has been rife, especially as Liverpool’s midfield depth was put to the test during the friendlies, underscoring the significance of the departing duo.

However, during post-match analysis of the Fürth game, former Liverpool player Jason McAteer broke the silence and mentioned the potential departures, stating,

“I know we aren’t supposed to talk about it, but if Jordan Henderson and Fabinho leave, they’re going to need two more midfielders.”

The revelation by McAteer has only fueled further curiosity, as fans and football enthusiasts anticipate a formal announcement from Liverpool FC regarding the transfers.

The potential departures of Henderson and Fabinho would undoubtedly impact the team’s dynamics, and supporters are eager to know the club’s plans for securing suitable replacements.

As the situation continues to unfold, all eyes remain on Liverpool FC, LFCTV, and the players involved, eager for clarity and official confirmation on what could be significant developments in the club’s squad ahead of the new season.
