The Liverpool midfielder makes sure to call his mum for some encouraging words

The 23-year-old revealed he did - and its fair to say they are quite heartwarming.

'Firstly, before every game, I always speak with my mum,' he told the club's official website. 'She really encourages me a lot.

'Then once I'm out on the field, I say a little prayer for my team and for everyone on the field, both sides, so that nothing bad happens, no-one gets injured.

'Yes, I do that every single game, pray for both sides so nothing untoward happens, like a bad injury.'

Liverpool will be hoping to extend their perfect start to the season next Saturday when they travel to face Tottenham at Wembley.
