As has been well-documented, Liverpool have had to deal with a host of injuries in the back line this season. And thus, they recalled Owen Beck early from his loan spell at Dundee. The Merseyside club would not have made this move unless the plan is for the left-back to now get major minutes.
You can expect Jurgen Klopp to select him, at least here and there, over this next stretch of games.
