Liverpool midfielder Fabio Carvalho has been sent back out on loan to Hull City following his return from RB Leipzig earlier this month. The 21-year-old was recalled by Liverpool after playing just 158 minutes in the Bundesliga and struggling to compete with other players on the team. RB Leipzig's sporting director, Rouven Schroder, cited Carvalho's reluctance to face competition as the reason for his departure.
Carvalho's Underwhelming Time at Leipzig
Carvalho joined RB Leipzig in the summer but failed to make a significant impact during his time at the club. Despite making 15 appearances, most of which were as a substitute, Carvalho struggled to outshine players like Dani Olmo and Lois Openda. As a result, Liverpool decided to recall him and send him out on loan again.
Competition Concerns
Schroder highlighted Carvalho's lack of willingness to compete for a spot on the team as a major factor in his departure. He praised Carvalho's character but noted that the young midfielder realized he needed to do more to secure his place. Ultimately, Carvalho's reluctance to face competition led to his loan move to Hull City.
Uncertain Future at Leipzig
There were doubts about Carvalho's future at RB Leipzig over the Christmas period. Both clubs were unsure about whether they wanted to keep the player, so when Liverpool expressed their desire to terminate the loan, Leipzig did not stand in their way. Schroder emphasized the importance of being clear and honest about the situation, stating that they should not be afraid of letting a player go if they are not committed.
Carvalho's Debut for Hull City
Carvalho made his first appearance for Hull City in a 2-1 loss to Norwich on Friday night. It was not the glorious start he had hoped for, but he will have the rest of the season to prove himself at the Championship club.
