122 Liverpool will look to make it seven wins in a row in all competitions when they return to Europa League action on Thursday evening.
The Reds will face reigning Czech champions and current table-toppers Sparta Prague at the Epet Arena in a 5:45pm kickoff.
Liverpool bounced back in style following their loss to Arsenal, winning their next six games including the Carabao Cup final.
The Reds remain top of the Premier League table and are also in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Now, it’s time to work towards progress in Europe.
On Wednesday, the Liverpool media team shared photos of their final training session before setting off for Czechia, and a number of Reds youngsters took part.
One of those was Amara Nallo, a 17-year-old defender who has been impressing for Liverpool at Under-18 and Under-21 level this term.
Amara Nallo spotted in Liverpool training but isn’t eligible to face Sparta Prague
Nallo was one of three high-profile signings Liverpool made for their academy last summer, arriving from West Ham.
He arrived at Anfield in the summer window alongside Trey Nyoni and Harvey Owen, who joined from Leicester and Wolves respectively.
Nallo has made 16 appearances for Liverpool at age level, including 11 for the Under-21s, which is a big feat for someone who’s yet to turn 18.
Sadly, the teenager has not travelled to Prague. As per the Liverpool Echo, he’s not eligible for a place on List B because he only joined the Reds academy in the summer.
Nevertheless, it’s good to see Nallo training with the Liverpool seniors. It suggests he has caught the eye of Klopp and the senior coaches, which bodes well for his future at Anfield.
Liverpool talent Amara Nallo has a ‘high ceiling’
Carlton Cole, who was West Ham’s Under-16s coach at the time of Nallo’s move to Liverpool, sung the youngster’s praises last year.
“I would describe Amara as a Rolls-Royce of a centre-back,” Cole told West Ham’s website in May last year.
“He has a great left foot and is elegant when he moves with the ball. He can play the ball with both feet and has been working on his heading as well. He’s a player who has a high ceiling.”
