Jurgen Klopp was very happy to see his Liverpool side record a solid 2-0 victory over Burnley and shared his thoughts on one player in particular.

“There is not a line-up, there are line-ups and as long as they are all fit then one will start and the other will not, all these kinds of things.

With many more matches on the horizon, having an academy product so able to step in and perform to a high level is crucial.
