Against Monaco! Ndukwe's Next Starting XI Appearance
The young Austrian forms the central defense in the friendly match against the Monegasques with none other than Virgil van Dijk.
Ifeanyi Ndukwe's successful run continues!
The 18-year-old Austrian is in FC Liverpool's starting lineup for the third friendly match in a row. At 3:30 PM, the "Reds" will face AS Monaco at Anfield Road.
Ndukwe once again receives the trust of head coach Andoni Iraola and forms the central defense alongside superstar Virgil van Dijk. The new coach also relies on most of his regular starters.
Liverpool's starting lineup: Alisson; Frimpong, Ndukwe, van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Koumas, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak
Future Still Open
However, how things will proceed for the former Austria Wien player this season is still open.
The central defender talent does not accumulate the necessary 15 points for a "Governing Body Endorsement", which is why he does not receive a player's license in England.
Currently, the search for a loan club for the youngster is underway.
He was able to impress in the pre-season so far. Against Leeds United and Wrexham, he played the full match. In the first friendly against Sunderland, he came on after ten minutes for the injured Joe Gomez.
