Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hinted veteran James Milner is in line for a new deal.

Milner played a key role in midweek, helping to guide a youthful Liverpool team to a 2-0 win away to MK Dons in the Carabao Cup.

Klopp enthused, Millie is unbelievably important. I have said it a couple of times. He is Mr Professional, that is how he is.

In a game like this against MK Dons, you go there and play with five kids, that is nice and you have six regular first-team players on the pitch. The others didn't even travel.

There could be a feeling like 'Oh yes, we play MK Dons thank you very much boys', but there is no chance in the team as long as guys like James and Adam [Lallana] are in the team.

From the first moment they give everything. He is a role model for the young boys. What an exceptional career. He looks like he has a few more years in the locker.

Contract situations, we don't talk about here in this room, but we are really happy with him."
