Liverpool boss Rodgers throws down challenge to Robinson

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has challenged Jack Robinson to step up his game in preseason.

Robinson featured in victory over Olympiakos.

Rodgers told liverpoolfc.com: "He's done well. He looks stronger and a bit more confident. There are areas he needs to be better in.

"In the first half, Jose Enrique was strong. He's still got a long way to go before we get him up to full speed because he's a really good player.

"Jack now has an opportunity to show me he can be a part of the squad. I always look to young players from the Academy base, I always look from within. If they show the right qualities, they can make the step up. He'll get an opportunity and hopefully he can take it."
