Liverpool will demand playing guarantees for Ben Woodburn at his next loan club.

The 19-year-old Welsh international joined Sheffield United on a season-long loan in the summer, but the deal was cut short as he struggled for game time then picked up an ankle injury.

Speaking to Liverpool's official website, Klopp said: “If these clubs don't give me the guarantee that he will play, there is absolutely no reason from my point of view to give him on loan.

“In the summer, I think he lost a bit of patience and it was really long he was already with us. The first-team situation didn't really change and then you maybe – and it's normal and can happen – lose patience. Then you have a rather average experience at another club and you come back and see here everything is still like it was before.

“Now he trained [on Friday] for the first time so I think if something happens with a loan, then it will happen at the end of the week. We will really try to give him as many sessions as possible so if he goes somewhere, he is really in a good situation."
