Nathaniel Clyne is expected to miss Liverpool's opening Premier League game of 2017/18, according to reports on Sunday afternoon. It is claimed from several reliable sources, including the Telegraph's Chris Bascombe, that the 26-year-old will miss the Premier League curtain-raiser at Watford on August 12. Having been one of the Reds' more injury-free players since joining from Southampton in 2015, Clyne has been dogged by issues this summer. With the 26-year-old appearing increasingly unlikely to feature at Vicarage Road in less than a fortnight, it paves the way for two of the Reds' most exciting youngsters to shine.
