    Liverpool loanee receives red card after being BITTEN by rival – “I have got a bite mark!”

    In an unusual incident, Liverpool loanee Owen Beck was sent off while playing for Blackburn after being bitten by Preston’s Milutin Osmajic during their 0-0 draw.

    This may sound strange, but as Liverpool supporters can attest, it’s not out of the realm of possibility for a player to be bitten on the field.

    The incident occurred on Sunday during a local Lancashire match between Blackburn and Preston. After a heated Championship clash that saw Preston’s Sam Greenwood controversially dismissed, tensions peaked in the 88th minute.

     

    With the score still level, the referee awarded an innocuous free-kick to Osmajic in Blackburn’s half. Preston substitute Dune Holmes then pushed Todd Cantwell, prompting Beck to kick out at Holmes, causing him to fall.

    Osmajic reacted dramatically by approaching Beck from behind and biting him on the neck. Shocked, Beck turned to confront Osmajic but was restrained by Makhtar Gueye. The Liverpool left-back protested to the assistant referee, stating, “he bit me” and “I’ve got a bite mark,” while showing the marks on his neck.

    After informing the unaware referee, Matt Donohue showed Beck a red card for his kick on Holmes during the scuffle. Replays will make it hard for Osmajic to refute Beck’s claims, and it will be interesting to see the outcome.

     

    Blackburn manager John Eustace commented to Sky Sports: “That’s what happens in local derbies, you can see that the kid has taken a big chunk out of his [Owen Beck’s] neck. Owen was sent off for the tackle; their lad has made a big scene of it, but it was harsh.

    There were a lot of cheap fouls and cards given against us. We are disappointed that we have lost Owen for three games. We will make sure Owen is OK.”

    Preston manager Paul Heckingbottom remarked: “I’ve just been told that there is a claim of a bite; we will have to wait and see what happens with that. We don’t want biting on the football pitch; that is not allowed.”

    What was the duration of Luis Suarez’s ban?

    As for Luis Suarez, he is the most notable player to have bitten opponents during matches, doing so three times throughout his career. His first incident occurred in 2010 when he received a seven-match ban for biting PSV’s Otman Bakkal while at Ajax.

    He bit Branislav Ivanovic in a Liverpool game against Chelsea in 2013, resulting in a 10-game suspension. Remarkably, he bit Giorgio Chiellini during the 2014 World Cup, leading to a nine-match international ban and a four-month suspension from all football-related activities.

    Tosin Adarabioyo

    The 26-year-old centre half greatly pleased Liverpool during their Carabao Cup semifinal second leg at Craven Cottage on Wednesday.

    Liverpool may consider Tosin Adarabioyo, a defender for Fulham, in the summer.

    The 26-year-old centre half greatly impressed Liverpool during their Carabao Cup semifinal match at Craven Cottage on Wednesday. Since Tosin is free to speak with foreign teams, AC Milan has already expressed interest in signing him before his contract expires in the summer.

    Tottenham was also considering the 6′ 5in defender throughout the summer, and Liverpool is looking to strengthen their defensive lineup. Despite Jurgen Klopp’s departure, a free transfer to replace Joel Matip or another player of their calibre is probably appealing.

    Tosin is aware that Fulham wants to keep him, but he will have options as a free agent. Fulham is content to wait and see what happens.

    The 26-year-old centre half greatly pleased Liverpool during their Carabao Cup semifinal second leg at Craven Cottage on Wednesday.

    After Nat Phillips, a 26-year-old centre back, spent the first half of the season at Celtic, the Reds have permitted him to join Cardiff City on loan for the balance of the season.

    Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Matip all sustained major injuries during the 2020–21 season, during which time Phillips made 20 appearances for the Reds. Phillips has played 29 times for the team. He only made five appearances for Celtic during the previous season, but he made eight appearances throughout the first half of this one.

    Although Blackburn had also hoped to sign the defender, he will now play out the remainder of the season in South Wales.

    Right-back Calvin Ramsay, who featured just twice for Preston in the first half of the season, has also been loaned by the Reds to Bolton. Ramsay’s loan at Liverpool is expected to go as well as that of right-back Conor Bradley, who won Bolton’s player of the year award following an outstanding campaign and is presently making an impression for the first team.

    Tosin Adarabioyo

    Liverpool’s left-back After being brought back earlier this month, Owen Beck has also been granted permission to return on loan to Dundee in Scotland.

    After Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas suffered injuries, Beck—who had been playing well at Dundee—was brought back to Liverpool, where he made his Premier League debut in the team’s 4-0 victory over Bournemouth. According to FIFA regulations, he was not allowed to play for a third team this season after making appearances for Dundee and Liverpool.

    After the first half of the season that we both experienced together, I am more than happy to be back, Beck remarked. At this point, I’m eager to perform in front of the crowd once more.

    “I am ecstatic to be back. I would want to express my gratitude to the Dundee supporters for their unwavering support over the first half of the season. Even after you learned that I had been recalled, you showed incredible love. Now that I’m back, let’s get back to work.

    Liverpool and Manchester United are vying for the 44-year-old Premier League boss.

    Manchester United is considering hiring Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Brighton, as their next manager.

    Manchester United is considering hiring Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Brighton, as their next manager.

    The Telegraph claims that Manchester United is keen to appoint the 44-year-old Italian as their next manager, but they will have to fight with Liverpool for his services.

    De Zerbi has done an outstanding job at Brighton since taking manager, and the Seagulls have pleased with their play and performances.

    The fact that Manchester United is interested in employing him is not surprising. The Italian, who is among the top young managers in the game right now, is expected to draw interest from Barcelona and Liverpool, two other teams that will be losing managers at the end of the current campaign.

    Erik ten Hag’s failure to get the greatest performance out of his team this season is preventing Manchester United from making the Champions League. The Red Devils may let him go if the club doesn’t perform much better before the end of the season.

    De Zerbi

    Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Man United has been frantically searching for a player, and De Zerbi might be the one.

    After Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp announced that he will be departing the team at the end of the current campaign, the Reds are now searching for potential successors.

    It would be prudent for Liverpool to appoint the 44-year-old Italian manager as well. It will be interesting to see who of the two teams succeeds in winning him over.

    Compared to Man United, who are still in the process of rebuilding, Liverpool has a considerably more advanced project and is therefore in a better position to qualify for the Champions League.

    Another manager may be departing Brighton shortly for one of the “Big Six” teams, following Graham Potter’s departure for Chelsea

    Liverpool may try to call up a productive loanee in light of Kostas Tsimikas's broken collarbone, which has joined Andy Robertson

    Liverpool may try to call up a productive loanee in light of Kostas Tsimikas’s broken collarbone, which has joined Andy Robertson on the long-term injured list.

    Tsimikas suffered a fall during Saturday’s 1-1 tie with Arsenal, and it is anticipated that he will be out for at least six weeks.

    During the match at Anfield, the Greek player was rushed straight to the hospital. In his press conference following the game, Jurgen Klopp stated that the player had “at least” a broken collarbone.

    It comes at a terrible time because Robertson cannot yet resume contact training following surgery in October to address a major shoulder ailment.

    Joe Gomez is set to assume the role of starting left-back, with Luke Chambers, 19, and Calum Scanlon, 18, serving as backups.

    Though Robertson should be back in training by next month, Liverpool does have another alternative to think about as they prepare for a stretch without both him and Tsimikas.

    The club’s contract with Dundee has a clause that permits Wales left-back Owen Beck to be recalled in January, according to the Courier.

    Earlier this week, manager Tony Docherty clarified, “We are still in talks right now.” “They and we are both happy.”

    Docherty was speaking prior to Tsimikas’s injury, which could complicate matters because Liverpool’s top concern is to make sure they have enough cover.

    Although Beck, 21, is currently recovering from a groyne injury, he participated in the entire 90 minutes of last weekend’s 1-0 victory against Ross County and was anticipated to feature in Saturday’s postponed match against Aberdeen.

    Docherty says he would just need to “put the reins on him a wee bit,” thus the scenario is one that can be handled.

    The manager clarified, “He is that kind of guy that he is all in whether it is a gym session, a 90-minute game, or a training session.

    It is evidence of his excellent performance. He gives everything he has to everything he does.

    Sometimes you have to take a little bit of the reins when it comes to his training load.

    “You need to keep in mind how much football he has played. He has had a fantastic season, but occasionally you have to give him a little more guidance.

    In the Scottish Premiership this season, Beck has started all bar one of Dundee’s games. In the League Cup, he has started all four of his games and played the whole ninety minutes in each.

    Although it is likely that Liverpool will feel that his growth is best served out on loan, Tsimikas and Robertson’s injuries may force their hand.

    Liverpool adviced as one to watch for top Arsenal transfer target

    Kenan Yildiz

    In the transfer war for Juventus youngster and alleged Arsenal target Kenan Yildiz, Liverpool is apparently one team to monitor.

    Arsenal is reportedly interested in the highly-rated teenage Turkey international, according to reports from the Italian publication Calciomercato, but it appears that the Gunners are not the only team after the player.

    According to the most recent report from Corriere dello Sport, which Sport Witness reported and translated, Liverpool appears to be a firm fan of Yildiz as well, and Juventus should be wary of the Reds’ attempts to sign the uneasy 18-year-old.

    In order to replace Mohamed Salah in the long run, Liverpool would be wise to acquire a top young attacking player such as this one, given players like Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz have not had the best luck with injuries lately.

    In the meanwhile, Arsenal would be well to bolster their offensive depth as well, since it seems likely that a major loss to Gabriel Martinelli or Bukayo Saka would spell difficulty for them
