Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner has conceded defeat in his attempt to sign goalkeeper Danny Ward from Liverpool on another season-long loan.
The Wales international was the Terriers' first-choice stopper last term, playing a pivotal role in the playoff victories over Sheffield Wednesday and Reading.
Ward will not be returning to the John Smith's Stadium for a second spell, however, as Jurgen Klopp seemingly wants him as part of his Liverpool squad in 2017-18.
"I've spoken with Jurgen and unfortunately he's made the decision that Danny Ward has to go back to Liverpool," he told reporters. "This is a player we will not be able to bring to our club like we've done with Aaron [Mooy]."
Danish keeper Jonas Lossl could now find himself as number one for Huddersfield's maiden Premier League campaign, having joined from Mainz 05 for the duration of the campaign.
