Kostas Tsimikas, Lewis Koumas, Harvey Elliott and more Liverpool loanees have been in action over the last week.

Tsimikas was linked with a return to Anfield in January amid Andy Robertson potentially moving to Tottenham Hotspur.

However, he ended up staying at AS Roma for the remainder of the campaign and has now been called ‘poor’ following his latest outing.

Liverpool loan watch round-up

Kostas Tsimikas

The Greek left-back is not a regular feature for Roma, starting just one of their last eight Serie A games.

However, Tsimikas did play a part on March 12 in their Europa League clash against fellow Italian side Bologna.

He played 32 minutes of the 1-1 draw, and Roma Today gave him a 5.5 rating, saying: “Poor entrance. Lots of fouls and no initiative.”

Harvey Elliott

It’s not a secret that Harvey Elliott is having a nightmare spell while on loan at Aston Villa.

Again, there was some talk of a January move for the player, but he is now stuck at Villa Park for the remainder of 2025/26.

He featured for a grand total of one minute when Aston Villa played Lille on Thursday evening.

Vitezslav Jaros

One player who was actually earning regular minutes this term was Vitezslav Jaros, who is currently on loan at Ajax.

But after cementing himself as their number one, the goalkeeper has missed the last three Eredivisie matches with a knee injury.

Lewis Koumas

After struggling at Birmingham City in the first half of the campaign, Lewis Koumas was recalled by Liverpool before then joining Hull City over the winter.

Koumas, who Rob Page has called ‘exceptional’, has now scored 10 in 3 for the Tigers, most recently netting in a 2-1 win over Wrexham on March 10.

Luke Chambers

Chambers moved to Charlton Athletic in the winter after recovering from a back injury.

He has since made nine appearances for the newly-promoted side, the latest of which saw him play 90 minutes in a huge 1-0 win over second-placed Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.

Luca Stephenson

Luca Stephenson has started all but one of Dundee United’s league matches since his summer transfer.

The natural defensive midfielder has largely been used in a right-wing-back role this term, last lining out on March 6 in a 2-1 Scottish Cup defeat against Falkirk.

Calum Scanlon

The left-back has endured a difficult 2025/26 due to injury issues, but he was handed his first start of the campaign for Cardiff City against Barnsley in League One on March 10.

Isaac Mabaya

After moving to Wigan Athletic in the 2025 summer window, Mabaya has made just three appearances and not featured in any competition since August 12.
