Liverpool academy chief Frank McParland is delighted by Jordan Ibe's promotion to the first team.
Ibe has missed the academy's tour of the US to be part of the senior squad.
"It's fantastic for us that we can't take Jordon Ibe," he told Liverpoolfc.com.
"Sometimes you think it would be great if you could take him on these trips because he could win you the tournament or at least play a big role in helping you win it.
"But at Liverpool Football Club - at Academy level - it's not only about winning tournaments."
