Jurgen Klopp admits he’s considering sending Marko Grujic out on loan next month - but remains convinced that the young midfielder will make the grade at Liverpool.

The Serbia international has been limited to just one start and four substitute appearances so far this season.

Grujic’s agent spoke this week about the 20-year-old needing to leave in January in order to secure regular game time and Klopp is open to the idea.

“He’s right, Marko deserves to play more now,” Klopp said.

“If it’s not possible here then we need to think about it (a loan).

“I like the boy a lot. He has made progress like hell. His heading is outstanding but he doesn’t make the squad a lot which isn’t the best thing for him for sure.

“We will think about it. We always want to help the players. First of all as a club we have to think about ourselves.

“I really see Marko in the future playing for Liverpool. But he’s not playing in the moment so we have to see what we can do to make it more likely that he comes through in the near future.”

Grujic, who cost the Reds £5.1million from Red Star Belgrade in January 2016, has only played 12 minutes of first-team football for the Reds since September.
