Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson says fans can be excited about their current batch of kids.

Last week, a Jurgen Klopp side comprised of youngsters defeated League One outfit MK Dons 2-0 in the Carabao Cup.

And speaking ahead of Liverpool's Champions League clash with RB Salzburg in the official matchday programme, Henderson praised the starlets.

He said: To see Harvey Elliott play as maturely and as confidently as he did, aged just 16, was tremendous. And Caoimhin Kelleher produced a couple of worldie saves to show why he's so highly thought of.

In terms of competitive senior debuts for Liverpool I think I'm right in saying there were five on the night: Caoimhin and Harvey, as already mentioned, along with Rhian Brewster, Herbie Kane and Sepp van den Berg.

We're delighted for all five of them as making your debut for a club like Liverpool is always special, and to do it with a win was a magnificent effort.
