Cameron Brannagan's prospective loan move to Bolton Wanderers has been delayed after the youngster suffered an injury in training.

Brannagan is one of the most talented young players currently present in the Liverpool academy and the 20-year-old had been touted to leave Anfield on loan to continue his development as a player, with League One side Bolton keen on securing his services in January.

However, Brannagan's temporary shift to the Macron Stadium has been put on hold due to the fact that the midfielder suffered an ankle injury in training and he is now expected to be out of action for at least three to four weeks because of the problem.
