Source context

With Liverpool heading into the 2026-27 season without making any signings to address their depth issues in midfield, the chances were always high that 19-year-old academy graduate Trey Nyoni would be given chances to show what he could do by new head coach Andoni Iraola. It might even be fair to say Liverpool’s hopes for the season reseted in part on Nyoni being able to take those chances when they did come. To his credit, and rather fortunately for the team, he’s done just that. The youngster has made nine appearances to date, seeing the pitch in 75% of the games played in all competitions and earning 373 minutes—numbers which would project to 1,500-2,000 minutes across the entire season.
