Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hailed Harvey Elliott's 'cheeky' cameo in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Lyon.

Klopp gave a number of young players a run against the Ligue 1 giants and he was left impressed by their confidence.

“That's what pre-season is about as well, to increase their confidence because we knew they are good but they have to adapt to different things," he told LFCTV.

“We had harder sessions than they are used to and they have still to play games against really strong sides. But it looked good and they made big steps.

“You can see [in] each of them the unbelievable talent sleeping inside, it's really nice. Being this age, you cannot be as experienced as the others but you can be more cheeky than the others.

“You saw that in a few moments, especially from Harvey, he's obviously not bothered who runs around him.

“Yasser showed wonderful signs, Ki-Jana made big steps, Sepp obviously a big centre-half talent, Bobby Duncan a striker through and through.

“I don't want to miss somebody, I don't count Harry really in that group but what a goal tonight! For all of them, a very important pre-season."
