On Tuesday afternoon, a number of photos emerged after the Liverpool squad trained at the AXA Training Centre ahead of the clash with Chelsea.

We could see the likes of Naby Keita, Divock Origi and Mohamed Salah keeping themselves sharp, but a lesser known face was spotted among the crowd.

Ben Davies.

The £2 million January signing from Preston was seen trying to take the ball away from Keita on Tuesday, as he awaits his Liverpool debut.

Sadly, the £60,000-a-week centre-back picked up a knock in training before the recent 3-1 defeat to Leicester, meaning Jordan Henderson had to line up alongside Ozan Kabak again.

As a result, Klopp is yet to actually use his new purchase.

However, with Henderson now out with a long-term injury, perhaps we will see Davies come into the starting XI soon.

He certainly deserves a chance, or questions will arise as to why Liverpool signed him in the first place.

If he struggles, then it was only £2 million spent, and there can’t be that many hard feelings – it was a shock to see him signed in the first place.

However, if he shines, then it will just be another masterclass from Michael Edwards in a long list of the Sporting Director’s successful moves.
