(Don't worry Macca)

Seems like we're sending him off to Turkey for a year's loan at Trabzonspor. I guess a good move - he's a fan, a chance to heal up (hopefully), and play in a competitive league and get some games. Hope he comes back as a healthier, more confident player:

Liverpool starlet Samed Yeşil has arrived in Turkey for talks with Trabzonspor.

The Black Sea Storm are interested in signing the 20-year-old striker on a loan deal.

Super Lig rivals Fenerbahçe are also interested in Yeşil however, the young striker is reported to be a Trabzonspor fan.

"If I was to play in Turkey it would be for Trabzonspor," Yeşil said in an interview with Turkish newspaper Sabah.

Yeşil spent last season on the sidelines after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament twice in a year.

Despite being born in Düsseldorf, Germany, Yeşil has Turkish parents and is therefore eligible to play with a domestic player status.

Yeşil has scored 28 goals in 33 youth internationals for Germany and scored 19 goals in 23 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen U-19 prior to his move.

The young striker has represented Germany at youth level however, is also eligible to represent the senior Turkish national team.

Liverpool signed Yeşil from Bayer Leverkusen on a €1 million deal last season however, the 20-year-old has yet to make a Premier League appearance for the Reds due to injuries. Yeşil still has two-years left on his contract.[/article]

He needs to spend a season wrapped in cotton wool, away from sharp objects and steps, not a year in Turkey.
Poor kid has legs made of straw.

Good luck to him. I'm glad he is still playing after 2 bad injuries in a row.
