In a recent interview, Quansah caused a stir by stating his ambition to surpass Matip in the defensive hierarchy. Unfortunately, Matip sustained an ACL injury during the Fulham game, which could mean the end of his time at the club as his contract expires this summer. When asked about the impact of Matip’s absence on his playing time, Quansah expressed his condolences but reiterated his desire to become a starting centre-back in the Premier League. Van Dijk defended Quansah’s attitude but acknowledged that the timing of his comments was not ideal. Despite the initial backlash, Quansah’s role in the team has increased since Matip’s injury, and he has played 14 games for Liverpool this season. He will be looking to contribute to the team’s success in their pursuit of trophies.
