Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was happy with young defender Jarell Quansah last night.

The talented youngster was a part of the Reds' lineup against Union-Saint Gilloise in the Europa League on Thursday.

Quansah has been a surprise inclusion in the team in recent games, showing he is comfortable at senior level at such a tender age.

After the win, Klopp stated to reporters: That's part of the development; if you are not ready for that then it's difficult to play, to be honest, in adult football.

But I was not in doubt about that, that he's ready for that. It's all because of him [that] it was not a difficult decision for us to line him up tonight.

Still young, we have a really good football team together, [so] it means he will get minutes, he will play U21s as well and stuff like this, but it's nice to see. It's a joy to watch his development since he is properly with us. He's a really good footballer on the ball, he is outstanding in that.

The chance of Mo [Salah] in the first half, he would have got the assist it was top defending, really quick thinking, stepping into it. Probably he feels rather good tonight, I would say. Rightly so."
