Liverpool legend Ian Rush thinks academy prospect Tyler Morton is 'most capable' of making an impact under Jurgen Klopp.
A number of young players were involved in the Reds Champions League win over AC Milan earlier this week and Morton played the full 90 minutes.
The 19-year-old also played the entirety of Liverpool's win over Porto last month having only made his senior debut against Norwich in the Carabao Cup back in September.
Max Woltman and Conor Bradley were both second-half substitutes for Liverpool at the San Siro, while Elijah Dixon-Bonner, James Norris and Harvey Davies were named on the bench.

Rush believes the youngsters will look up to the likes of Steven Gerrard and Trent Alexander-Arnold, both products of Liverpool's academy, but admitted Morton seems to be most capable of breaking into the first team at the moment.
“Having worked at the Academy, Stevie [Gerrard] will know a lot of the young players in and around the Liverpool first team, such as Tyler Morton, Max Woltman and Conor Bradley who all featured in Milan," he told Gambling.com.
“I’m sure he’ll be pleased to see them coming through. Woltman and Bradley may only have had a few minutes on the pitch in the San Siro, but the real experience for them will be training with the first team and going away on a trip to Milan with the whole squad.
“Tyler Morton seems to be the one most capable of making an impact at the moment but if they’re all training with the first team that’s invaluable experience.

"When you start training with the first team, everything is quicker and at a higher level, and if you can keep up with it you’ve got a chance. And then, when you’re asked to play, you’re ready.”
Klopp was delighted with the midfielder's performance against the Serie A leaders on Tuesday night, but called for calm as it was only Morton's fifth senior appearance.
“I don't want to make his life any more complicated than it is already, playing at such a young age for a club like Liverpool in a game like this with a performance like this," Klopp said.
"I think we should all calm down but it was really good tonight and a big pleasure to watch the boy playing."
