Midfielder returns to Liverpool following the club’s decision to terminate his loan early

Ritaccio's return to the United States for a spell with USL Championship team Charleston Battery was viewed as a good chance earlier in the year.

The midfielder stated it was "great to be back" in his home country following an injury-plagued first half of the season with Liverpool in which he played only four games for the under-23s.

However, his time at South Carolina did not go as he had hoped because of a number of injuries that kept him out for five months.

In a mutual decision between the two clubs, Ritaccio has now been confirmed to have been returned to Liverpool as part of a mid-season restructuring.

The 20 year-old player, who joined Liverpool in 2018, agreed to a new deal with them last summer, although he hasn't played much at the youth level.
