The Story in 60 Seconds

Liverpool have officially confirmed that 19-year-old center-back Amara Nallo has returned to the club following a premature end to his loan spell with Finnish side HJK Helsinki. The defender managed only three appearances in Finland before injury issues forced the arrangement to conclude earlier than planned.
