The England international was subject to a barrage of criticism in both outings as the Reds were forced to make do with a draw on each occasion, however his injury is the likely source of his below-par display.

The 20-year-old will now join Joel Matip, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Emre Can in the treatment room, and a host of Liverpool fans were not best pleased that a decision was made to risk him, despite his and the club's recent injury problems.
