Liverpool youngster Bobby Clark trained with the first-team on Thursday after an amazing assist last month. He could face Wolves.
Liverpool trained on Thursday with Wolves in mind – the Reds host them in the FA Cup on Saturday. But there were absentees.
The Reds made up for those with some youngsters, though. The Liverpool Echo reports that Stefan Bajcetic, Calvin Ramsay, Ben Doak, Luke Chambers and Bobby Clark all featured in first-team training and could face Wolves.
Bajcetic is perhaps the most likely to start the game. Liverpool are short in midfield, after all, and both James Milner and Naby Keita missed training.
There’s a good chance that Ben Doak features, too. He can operate on that right flank and with injuries up top, the teenager may be an option to rotate Mohamed Salah.
Bobby Clark could feature after amazing assist
Clark may be the one we’re most excited about. Like Bajcetic, he’s immediately in contention because Liverpool lack midfielders. We don’t expect him to start but the youngster feels like a likely option from the bench.
The 17-year-old registered a fantastic assist last month, after all. His beautiful pass for Darwin Nunez in a friendly against AC Milan got people talking and we imagine Jurgen Klopp could give him a chance to show his quality in a competitive game.
Liverpool have had good luck with youngsters stepping up recently, too. Doak has been impressive, while Bajcetic got his first Premier League goal against Aston Villa.
Could Clark be the next to make an impression?
Ramsay is another we expect to see. He’s been injured recently but is back training and should be ready to feature. We’ve barely seen the Scot since his arrival, after all.
Klopp has options from which to pick an interesting squad on Saturday, then.
