Stefan Bajcetic has revealed he was 'shocked' to find out he would be making his first Premier League start this weekend.
The Spanish midfielder has now 15 first-team appearances this season and has slowly gained the trust of Jurgen Klopp, who trusted the teenager to feature in his midfield three versus Chelsea on Saturday afternoon. Despite receiving a yellow card during the game, Bajcetic impressed once again and appears to be pushing his way into contention for further opportunities from the off.
Speaking at his press conference on Friday afternoon, Klopp admitted the youngster had been in his 'thoughts' for some time regarding a top-flight start and placed his trust in the 18-year-old for the visit of Graham Potter's side.
