Brendan Rodgers today backed Jose Enrique to prove why he has all the attributes to become one of the finest left-backs in the Barclays Premier League.

The Reds boss believes the Spaniard is continually demonstrating his resolve to improve on a daily basis at Melwood and feels he can prove he has what it takes to become one of the division's leading full-backs.

"Jose has been playing with a little bit of an injury, but he's still been showing his determination and pride for the team," Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo.

"He has all the attributes to be one of the best left-backs in the Premier League.

"He's a threat when he goes forward and defensively he's very difficult to beat.

"The great thing is that Jose is always working at his game. He appraises himself honestly when we have chats. He's one who is looking to improve his game and his passing.

"There's no doubt that on his day he's one of the best in that position in this country."
