Divock Origi has not made a single Premier League appearance this season for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

The fact that Divock Origi picked up an injury just after scoring a wonderful individual goal for Liverpool’s U23 side on Monday rather sums up how things are going for him at Anfield right now.

With Roberto Firmino doubtful for Liverpool’s Champions League clash against PSG, Origi’s impressive outing for the Reds reserves could have been perfectly timed if a place was to open up in Jurgen Klopp’s attack.

But the striker’s hopes of kick-starting his Anfield career against the Ligue 1 champions have been dashed by an unfortunate fitness blow.

It remains to be seen when we will next see Origi in a Liverpool shirt. The 23-year-old’s most recent outing for the Merseyside giants came in a 3-0 win against Middlesbrough in May 2017 and he struggled to impress during a loan spell at Wolfsburg in Germany last season.

The former Lille youngster was expected to be shown the door this summer but Liverpool’s £27 million valuation appeared to put off potential suitors, giving him one last chance to kick-start a career that has stalled dramatically.

More goals like this one for the U23s will do his reputation no harm at least.

I really Prefer Origi Over Sturridge

He is younger and also Can Press Better then Lazy Sturridge
He should Be Ahead Of Sturridge and Solanke
He has more talant then them and thats why Liverpool want 27m for him
they know he is better but they still ignoring him
I dont get it.
