Jurgen Klopp has placed Trey Nyoni on standby amid an emerging injury crisis at Liverpool.

That is according to The Times.

So, what is the situation involving Trey Nyoni at Liverpool? Let’s take a look…

Liverpool could call on Trey Nyoni

Well – according to The Times – Liverpool have put the attacking midfielder on standby as Klopp finds himself without a number of players this week.

The Reds are set to be without the following names for Wednesday’s Premier League clash against Luton and potentially Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Chelsea as well.

• Mohamed Salah
• Darwin Nunez
• Diogo Jota
• Trent Alexander-Arnold
• Dominik Szoboszlai
• Curtis Jones
• Thiago Alcantara
• Stefan Bajcetic
• Joel Matip
• Ben Doak

As a result, Klopp is ready to put his trust in Nyoni – who is just 16 years of age.

The Times also name Bobby Clark, Kaide Gordon, James McConnell, Lewis Koumas and Jayden Danns as other youngsters who could be handed an opportunity amid the injury crisis.

Who is Trey Nyoni?

Well, Klopp is not afraid to play academy products if he feels they are good enough, something that has been evidenced through the German’s use of Alexander-Arnold, Jones, Conor Bradley, Bajcetic and more.

Now, it could be Nyoni’s time to shine.

The England U17 international was signed from Leicester back in September – a move which is believed to have left the Foxes devastated.

Nyoni – described as a footballer who can deliver big moments by the Guardian – has scored three goals and provided one assist in just four U18 Premier League appearances this season, and looks set to have a very bright future.

The teenager can also operate as a deeper lying central midfielder – so he has versatility to add to his many impressive traits.
