 The 19-year-old has made his way back to Anfield after picking up a knock while away on international duty

Rhys Williams has joined Liverpool's list of defensive injury concerns after being sent home from the England Under-21 squad.

Williams graduated to Liverpool's senior squad in 2019 after eight years in the club's youth set-up, and is already beginning to push for a regular place in Jurgen Klopp's side.

The 19-year-old has featured in three Champions League games and two Carabao Cup fixtures for the Reds this season, and has been likened to Virgil van Dijk due to his similar appearance and style of play.
