Jon Flanagan will get the chance to reinvigorate his Premier League career after the door finally opened for him at Burnley.
The 23-year-old, who is on a season-long loan from Liverpool, has had to bide his time for a chance, but Stephen Ward's hamstring strain has created a vacancy at left-back against Crystal Palace.
Patiently waiting for a first-team opportunity at a recently-promoted side was probably not what Flanagan expected a couple of years ago.
Back then he was a bright young thing at Anfield, a thoroughbred scouser and all the more beloved for it.
He played a significant part in the club's thrilling 2013/14 title tilt under Brendan Rodgers, sharing the field with the likes of Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez and sharing in the heartbreak as they stumbled, quite literally in Gerrard's case, at the eleventh hour.
