Liverpool boss Klopp: Origi has full backing

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Divock Origi has his full backing.

Klopp believes Liverpool striker Origi is ready to fill the void if Roberto Firmino is ruled out of Sunday's Anfield clash with Burnley.

Klopp was delighted with his impact after coming off the bench against Arsenal last weekend. Origi created the Reds' third goal for Gini Wijnaldum.

“Divock was good," Klopp said.

“It was a nice sign. We've had a lot of talks in the last few weeks about what he needs to do. It was a very important sign for him and for us."
