Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has made a decision about the position in the team of Takumi Minamino.

The Japanese star came in with a lot of expectations, but has struggled to get regular game time at the club.

He is now behind summer signing Diogo Jota in the pecking order for an attacking spot.

Minamino did get a chance to play in the Champions League dead rubber against FC Midtjylland.

The Japanese star played in a central midfield role, which is unusual for him, as he normally operates as a winger or attacker.

Asked about the game and Minamino, Klopp told reporters: "Two different halves, completely different. I liked the football we played in the first half, especially with the so-much-changed team we had tonight.

"The way we played, the way the boys adapted, not to forget that Takumi Minamino played now only the second time in that position – once in Brighton, which was a different game, and tonight it looked already much better.

"I really like the football we played first half, we had really big… if it's not a chance then nearly a chance, I'm not sure what is the English word for that. But we had a lot of these moments which we could have used in a better way and that was good."
