Wood’s outstanding performances this season have raised concerns about how the Forest side would cope if he were injured, prompting…

Liverpool have got to reassess their Milos Kerkez choice. The left-back is capturing everyone’s interest this season. Liverpool have been connected with Milos Kerkez all season, and the Bournemouth left-back has put in some impressive displays.

Furthermore, with Andy Robertson’s contract coming to an end, Liverpool must consider a long-term option at left-back.…
