Liverpool set to recall goalkeeper Danny Ward from Aberdeen

Liverpool are going to recall goalkeeper Danny Ward from his loan spell at Aberdeen, according to reports.

The 22-year-old played for the SPL side in Saturday's 1-0 Scottish FA Cup defeat against Hearts. It was his 29th appearance for the club this season and 12 of those have been clean sheets.

He was set to stay at Pittodrie for the season, but the Reds have chosen to end his time in Scotland, which has been largely successful as he has become a fans' favourite.

Ward spent a month last season on loan at Morecambe.

Liverpool have not had a great season in the goalkeeping department, with both Simon Mignolet and Adam Bogdan coming under scrutiny, the latter most recently in the FA Cup draw with Exeter.
