Jurgen Klopp has revealed he promised Harvey Elliott minutes in the Champions League as he prepared to make his first-team comeback.
The 18-year-old midfielder returned for the Reds during an FA Cup win over Cardiff City earlier this month, having been sidelined since September until this point.
Elliott has since been eased back into the squad after playing 31 minutes against Leicester City last Thursday and being left on the bench against Burnley.
