The quartet is joined on the wing by Kostas Tsimikas, Mohamed Salah, Stefan Baicetic and Joel Matip. Furthermore, Klopp admitted to Liverpool’s media team on Friday that the Reds have “a bit of the flu”.The Reds released photos from their latest training session on Thursday and alongside their senior players, several of their youth academy players have also been spotted.
Liverpool Academy goalscorer Jaden Duns spotted her during trainingOne of them was Jayden Dunns who has been in good form for the youth team this season.The 18-year-old striker has scored 16 goals and provided two assists in just 15 appearances in the Premier League Under-18s, FA Youth Cup, Premier League 2 and EFL Trophy. According to Liverpool’s website, Dunnes is a “versatile player” who can play in both attack and midfield.
He is the son of Neil Dunnes, who enjoyed an impressive career as a midfielder in the Football League. Aged 41, he has also played for Guyana in the national team. Neil Jones recently published a scouting report on Dunnes, comparing his style of play to Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
It’s always good to see top performances from first team training and Danns is sure to make a name for himself at academy level.If all goes well, you should be able to knock off some minutes between now and the end of the season. He would then be eligible to take part in pre-season and be loaned out to the EFL for at least the next term.
