Given Liverpool’s strength in depth as Jurgen Klopp’s side continue to chase an unprecedented quadruple, it’s easy to forget it was only a few months ago when his midfield was down to its bare bones.
The numbers available to the German now mean Harvey Elliott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain haven’t played since the FA Cup victory over Nottingham Forest in March, with the duo often failing to even make the matchday squad if Liverpool are injury-free.
Of course it was a different story during the first half of the season when Tyler Morton was fast-tracked to the first team as autumn turned to winter, with the 19-year-old making nine appearances, starting in both the Premier League and Champions League as Klopp was forced to contend with limited numbers.
