Liverpool vs Barcelona: Wonderkid Rhian Brewster could play in Champions League semi-final due to Reds’ injury problems
England wonderkid Rhian Brewster could make his Liverpool debut against Barcelona this evening, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.The 19-year-old, an Under-17 World Cup winner with England less than two years ago, was scheduled to join Klopp’s squad full-time for pre-season training after ankle and knee ligament problems curtailed his progress.He was injured in a club under-23 match in January 2018 and has been edging his way back to fitness in the last couple of months, but injury problems have forced Klopp to accelerate his promotion to the first team.Brewster’s integration into Klopp’s first-team has taken place ahead of schedule3

Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah have both been ruled out Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona, leaving Klopp short of options in attack.Brewster will be named in the matchday squad for only the second time, the first being as an unused substitute in the home defeat to Crystal Palace in April 2017 when Klopp’s side was again ravaged by injury. He travelled with the squad for Saturday’s win at Newcastle as part of his ongoing integration, and will be on the bench at Anfield as Liverpool seek to overturn a 3-0 deficit against Barca on Tuesday night.The Reds were defeated in Catalonia last week, with Lionel Messi adding a late double after Luis Suarez’s first-half opener.“Yes, there is a big chance. It’s nearly sure. It’s guaranteed,” said Klopp when asked about Brewster’s inclusion in the squad.Brewster has only once before been named in a matchday squad3

“And he’s ready. The situations are always like this. In an ideal world, in a season you always have much more players than you can involve in a squad.“Rhian has now arrived with us after being heavily injured. Day by day, he has got better and better and he has been in just outstanding shape for the last three or four weeks, but the other players were there as well.“But next season he will be playing 100 per cent and he knows that. I have told him already.

“It’s just good so now it’s really nice in a difficult situation that we can give him that spot in the squad and have him there to bring on as a striker.“When you’re on the bench, you are an option to play.”Brewster, signed from Chelsea at the age of 15, is very highly-rated at the club and agreed his first professional, five-year contract last summer after interest from Borussia Monchengladbach.Brewster was part of the England squad which won the 2017 Under-17 World Cup, a tournament at which he was top scorer3
