How out of sight Liverpool loanee found out about Jurgen Klopp exit

As Liverpool welcomes back a number of senior players after injury, the Reds’ Academy renaissance is seemingly over - for this season at least.

It has been a remarkable campaign for Liverpool’s youth ranks, with no less than 18 players turning out for Jurgen Klopp’s first team.

While such a list includes Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, and Caoimhin Kelleher, the rest are all recent graduates or current starlets stepping up in the club’s hour of need.

With the list of absentees reaching as high as 14 players at one point, the presence of ‘Klopp’s kids’ has very much been needed since the turn of the year to fill the void left by the many walking wounded.

And they have enjoyed a year to remember as a result, playing a significant role in winning the League Cup against Chelsea back in February, with such silverware the cherry on top of the cake after a plethora of debut appearances and a handful of maiden goal contributions.

But with that injury crisis nearing an end, consistent senior opportunities for starlets now look set to dry up at the business end of the season.

Consequently, overlooking Jarell Quansah and Conor Bradley, who are now recognised first team players, Klopp hasn’t actually fielded an academy player since the Reds’ return to action following the March international break.

Of course, that takes nothing away from their successes this season. Even with a new manager at the helm, ahead of Klopp stepping down at the end of the campaign, their time will come again.
