Paul Glatzel made his first start in six months as the Liverpool under-23s played their penultimate game of the season, ending with nine men in a 2-2 draw with Leicester.
Liverpool U23s 2-2 Leicester U23s
Premier League 2, Kirkby
Goals: Clarkson 18′, Woodburn pen 45+2′; Clayton OG 45′, McAteer 65′
It has been another difficult campaign for Glatzel, who recovered from a long-term ACL injury that curtailed his step up to the first team in 2019 only to suffer a series of setbacks.
Most concerning was the ankle ligament damage sustained in a 0-0 draw with Southampton in December, with Jurgen Klopp watching on that day at Kirkby as he was helped off the pitch at half-time.
U23s match report: Blackburn 2-2 Liverpool
Andy Kelly Second-half equalisers from Ben Woodburn and Leighton Clarkson saw Liverpool U23s share the spoils with Blackburn Rovers in a hard-fought 2-2 draw at Leyland on Monday evening.
Woodburn cancelled out a first-half opener from the hosts early in the second period before Clarkson fired home with just four minutes left to earn the young Reds a deserved point from the Premier League 2 contest.
It was the home side who started the game brighter with Liam Hughes much the busier goalkeeper early on.
Clarkson was caught in possession near his own box and Hughes produced a fine save to prevent the opener, gathering the ball off a touch from his own midfielder.
