Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with the form of his youngsters this preseason.

The manager has since told the club's official website he was encouraged by the performances of the young and returning players handed opportunities in Thursday's 6-0 win against the League One side.

“They were all good," Klopp, whose side next face Bradford City on Sunday, said.

“Harry [Wilson] and Ryan [Kent] played outstandingly. Ben Woodburn, it was probably the best game I saw that he's back, you see it in training already, he is really physically strong now, he is fresh again, sharp again.

“They all played really well. Yasser [Larouci] and Adam Lewis at left-back, good. Ki-Jana [Hoever] at right-back, good. I liked all the performances.

“Paul Glatzel, unfortunately we had to take him off and we're not sure about that, it doesn't look too good, but we have to wait. He is a wonderful kid as well.

“Dan Atherton came on and I never saw a performance like this from a goalkeeper as a striker, it was brilliant. It was all round a really good game."
