Jurgen Klopp has seemingly been very impressed by the young Liverpool trio of Stefan Bajcetic, Ben Doak and Bobby Clark while out in Dubai.
The Reds flew out to the Middle East earlier this week as they undertake some warm weather training before two friendlies, against Lyon tomorrow and then AC Milan on December 16. With several senior Reds either on World Cup duties in Qatar or recovering from injury, the 33-man travelling party consisted of 13 academy prospects, giving several young stars a chance to impress.
Klopp's inclusion of the young talents is hoped to help introduce them into the first-team picture, particularly given the potentially long-term injuries suffered by the likes of Arthur Melo and, more recently, Luis Diaz. And the Reds boss had highlighted the importance of taking this rare opportunity to include youth mid-season, adding that a select few have looked 'really promising'.
