'Pretty much in his pre-season': Klopp reveals Liverpool plan for Bajcetic

Last season, Stefan Bajcetic was Liverpool's breakthrough player but missed the final part of that campaign, as well as all but two games this season, due to injuries.

Speaking to the press, Jurgen Klopp assured that Liverpool have a plan for the 19-year-old.

"Stefan is pretty much now in his pre-season to make him physically ready so, in the moment, if he feels something it’s not injuries but intensity," the boss said.

"He is a young lad, so we have to make sure that we don’t use him before he is then really ready.

"Because obviously what happened before was that the body was not 100 per cent ready for the intensity professional football is asking for.

"He is in a much better place now, he had a long time – unfortunately – to improve that.

"That’s why we have to wait now a little bit, but he is in his pre-season and I think he will be part of team training after the international break."

If Bajcetic indeed is going to be back in the squad for the season run-in, this would be a major boost for Liverpool who are still chasing three trophies after winning the Carabao Cup.
