Liverpool youngster Curtis Jones is happy to bide his time on the sidelines.
The 18-year-old will likely get a chance to impress Jurgen Klopp against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
"I know I need to take things slowly and wait until my time's right," Jones told The Independent .
"Sadio [Mane], Mo [Salah], Bobby [Roberto Firmino], the lads in the dressing room are some of the best players in the world. If I was still sitting in the stands watching them I'd be like 'oh my God'.
"In your career, opportunities will come along the way to get more first-team football, but I know I'm not missing out on anything because I see what Jurgen [Klopp] tells the players, he speaks to me one-to-one, tells me what I need to improve on. I know he's got faith in me.
"Being a local lad, my head's only ever been on staying here to represent the area and show what local boys are capable of."
