Liverpool have an enormous game at Anfield this evening.
The Reds round off their Premier League season with a visit of Crystal Palace and Jurgen Klopp knows that a home victory will see his side finish at least fourth and qualify for the Champions League.
This looked a tall order only a few weeks ago, but four games on the spin has given Liverpool a new lease of life.
Klopp put his players through their paces at the Axa Training Centre on Saturday and young centre-back Billy Koumetio featured prominently in the photographs.
Despite only being 18, the French defender is one of the biggest players on Liverpool’s books and pictures of him towering over Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah were certainly notable.
Another notable picture came when Firmino slid in on first-team fitness coach Conall Murtagh, who was involved in the session in some capacity it would seem.
Koumetio hasn’t had a look-in this season despite the injury crisis of centre-back options that Klopp has had to endure.
And it’ll be unlikely to see him play regularly for Liverpool next season, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip all returning.
But that isn’t to say that he couldn’t do a Harvey Elliott and go out on loan somewhere.
