Liverpool dictating team selection for Bordeaux

Liverpool are dictating team selection for Bordeaux, it can be revealed.

France's Gold FM says Bordeaux have to play Liverpool loanee Tiago Ilori at least 30 times this season.

It is thought that Liverpool insisted on the clause in a bid to get the young defender game time during his spell with the Ligue 1 club.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers signed Ilori from Sporting Lisbon for £8m last summer but he failed to make an appearance for the first team.
