Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has assured young Welsh international talent Ben Woodburn there is a route to a regular place in the Liverpool first team.
Woodburn, 17, made his senior debut for the Merseysiders off the bench late in their win over Sunderland.
Klopp said there were many positives about Woodburn, but that the Wales Under-19 international needed time.
"There is really always a way, even when the first team is a really strong side," said Klopp.
Against Sunderland, Woodburn became the third youngest player ever to make a senior appearance for Liverpool, aged 17 years, one month and 11 days.
