Klopp vows to give Ings chance to shine at Liverpool

Jürgen Klopp insists Danny Ings will get his chance to shine for Liverpool sooner rather than later after being impressed with the striker’s work-rate in training.

Ings is yet to make an appearance for the first team so far this season as he continues to build up his fitness again following a long lay-off last tem having ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament.

However, his hard work on the training ground has not gone unnoticed by Klopp, who also has Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino as options up front.

But despite the wealth of riches Klopp pledges that Ings will get a fair crack of the whip as he looks for competition for places.

“Danny is working hard and good, but the situation is like it is – we have a lot of strikers,” said Klopp.

“He is close, what can I say? He is a wonderful boy. It’s not the easiest thing when a player works really hard and then he is not involved, so of course you want to give the player something back for the unrest.

“It is not always possible – but as soon as it is possible, I will pay back.”
