Nat Phillips will most likely return to Liverpool in January when his loan with Celtic finishes. As a result of Joel Matip’s ACL injury, Jurgen Klopp’s defense choices were restricted. Now, the central defender might return to Merseyside to help the Premier League leaders augment Virgil Van Dijk, Konate, and Gomez.

Phillips is being considered for a recall in the January transfer window, according to The Mirror. The transaction is expected to be completed by then, although a facility has been agreed upon.

Phillips has made eight appearances since joining Celtic from Liverpool, and he was responsible for two of Celtic’s last two goals. Despite not having played many games, the massive defender has not impressed.

Brendan Rodgers, on the other hand, has heaped praise on the 26-year-old for his dedication in training. Phillips has been used as the Irishman’s third defender after Cameron Carter-Vickers and Liam Scales. With Maik Nawrocki and Gustaf Lagerbielke struggling to make matchday squads, Phillips’ departure should boost their efforts in training as they strive to break into the first team.
