Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster could feature tonight.

Liverpool forward Rhian Brewster has told Four Four Two that he did try and leave the club on loan – but boss Jurgen Klopp simply said ‘no’.

The Reds take on MK Dons in the Carabao Cup this evening, and Klopp may well take this chance to ring changes in his side against the League One team.

Some young talents may be looking to feature, and one of those will be striker Brewster, who has been waiting for a chance.

The 19-year-old hit the headlines in 2017 with eight goals in the Under-17 World Cup, which saw him win the Golden Boot, and he was tipped for stardom since then.

He hasn’t been able to kick on into the first team since then, mostly through injury, but this could be his season to make the step up and feature around Klopp’s first team.

Brewster is back fit and available, with The Independent suggesting he’s in line for a start tonight, but he’s now reflected on how he wanted to go out on loan.

Brewster has admitted that he spoke to Klopp at the beginning of the season about heading out on loan, but the German offered a one-word response: no.

The striker has taken that as a great sign that he could play in the Liverpool first team this season, though he will obviously face a battle given the form of Roberto Firmino.

“Yeah, I spoke to him at the beginning of the season and he just said “no”. He doesn’t want me to go on loan, he wants me to stay. So that’s fair enough and it’s good to hear,” said Brewster.
