Latest Liverpool news: Jurgen Klopp keeps door open for Rhian Brewster debut

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has kept the door open for talented young striker Rhian Brewster to make his debut for the Reds.

The youngster has had a tough time with injuries over the past couple of seasons and played his first game in 14 months in an U23 friendly.

Brewster scored a pair of goals in the win, one was a brilliant curler from outside the box, and picked up a minor knock, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Klopp was speaking ahead of the game against Southampton and was happy seeing Brewster back in training (h/t Liverpool Echo):

“It was good to see Rhian back.

“It’s nice having him in training. It was his birthday this week, 19 years old, crazy. So much to come. Get him fit, keep him fit and then the door is wide open for him.”

A talented striker for the future

Brewster was excellent for the England U17 team that won the World Cup a couple of years ago. However, his development has been stop-start due to several problems.

The English youngster seems to have a lot of backing from the manager, and it will be interesting to see if he gets some minutes before the end of the season.

Brewster isn’t the only player that is looking to make a comeback as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been participating in training for a few weeks.
