Rhian Brewster has only one Liverpool start to his name so far this season.

Rhian Brewster has told Sky Sports that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has encouraged him to be patient, as he will get chances.

Brewster impressed over pre-season at Liverpool and was kept at Anfield this term, with the 19-year-old expected to be handed plenty of game time.

However, Brewster has only started one game for Liverpool this term in the cup.

The likes of Divock Origi and Adam Lallana have both been used more often as attacking substitutes for Liverpool, with Brewster spending most his time on the bench.

But the teenage forward insists that he is confident that his chance will come sooner rather than later.

“You’ve just got to be patient and wait for your turn,” he said.

“Obviously the boss [Jurgen Klopp] has a plan for me and he knows what he’s doing, clearly. ‘He’s been saying just be patient, you’re time will come and I’m just waiting and being patient.”

Liverpool’s form has been so strong that they have not needed Brewster’s skill and pace so far this term.

The Reds have taken maximum points from their first eight Premier League matches, to launch themselves to the top of the table.

Klopp’s men are next in action against Manchester United at the weekend, and it seems highly unlikely that Brewster will be thrown into such a pressurised fixture, so he may have to stay patient for a while yet.
