Former Liverpool players Jamie Carragher and Daniel Sturridge urged manager Arne Slot to give teenage midfielder Rio Ngumoha more starts after his impactful cameo against Nottingham Forest.

Ngumoha, who has yet to start a Premier League game, came off the bench for the ninth time this season and helped turn the game in Liverpool’s favour. Slot has been cautious with his involvement, but the ex‑players say the 17‑year‑old’s performances warrant a regular spot.
