Liverpool are getting set to face Everton this weekend and the first team have been joined by a number of youth prospects at the AXA Training Centre.
Calum Scanlon, James McConnell, Trent Kone-Doherty and Tommy Pilling were all involved in the derby preparations on Thursday, with Scanlon likely drafted in due to the absence of Andy Robertson.
The extent of Robertson’s injury remains unclear, with the dislocated shoulder the Scotland captain sustained in his side’s 2-0 defeat to Spain likely to keep him out of action for an extended period.
Fellow left-back Luke Chambers has picked up an ankle injury of his own, meaning that Scanlon could be in line for a spot on the bench in the coming weeks.
The 18-year-old notched 77 minutes for the senior side during pre-season and will have one eye on making his competitive debut in the near future due to recent circumstances.
Caoimhin Kelleher was also seen back in training following the cut to his knee which kept him out of the Europa League visit of Union SG earlier this month.
