Alex Inglethorpe interview: How the Academy has adapted to lockdown

Alex Inglethorpe has explained how Academy staff and players have been adapting to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

During an extended chat with Liverpoolfc.com, the Academy manager outlined the procedures put in place to care for the wellbeing and fitness of the club’s youth players as the UK remains in lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Inglethorpe opened up on how much he is missing the day-to-day activity in Kirkby and the communication methods being used to stay in regular contact with his team.

He also looked back on another productive season for the Academy so far, including the progress of Curtis Jones and the rewards he is reaping from working with the first team at Melwood, and the continued inspiration provided by the achievements of graduate Trent Alexander-Arnold.
