Nathaniel Phillips has maximised the additional time available to him this season by completing individual training sessions.
Absences of varying degrees for Fabinho, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk have seen the centre-back become a regular in Liverpool’s Premier League matchday squads in 2020-21.
However, uncertainty over his future meant Phillips was omitted from the Reds’ Champions League group-stage squad, which was decided prior to Gomez and Van Dijk sustaining long-term injuries.
But that has afforded the 23-year-old the chance to work on specific areas of his game while his teammates competed in Europe.
