Jordan Rossiter will be involved when Liverpool continue their FA Cup quest with a fourth round tie at home to Bolton Wanderers on Saturday evening.

The young midfielder made his first-team debut in a Capital One Cup meeting with Middlesbrough last September, featuring for 79 minutes at Anfield.

And Brendan Rodgers confirmed in his pre-match press conference today that the 17-year-old is likely to increase his appearance tally against Bolton.

"He will be involved," explained the manager. "We've got some very good young players that, over the next couple of years, you'll get to see more of.

"They really fit in with the work. Alex Inglethorpe does a wonderful job at the Academy in terms of aligning the players to the philosophy and how we want to work here.

"They train and work a lot with the first team. There's a great relationship there between both. In the next few years we'll see the fruits of that."

One aspiring talent who will not be able to take to the field for the visit of the Championship side this weekend, however, is winger Jordon Ibe.

He returned from an impressive loan spell with Derby County last week and was introduced as a substitute against Aston Villa two days later.

Ibe is cup tied in the competition, but Rodgers predicted that Kopites will be seeing plenty of the Englishman in the years to come.

The boss added: "We saw it with Jordon Ibe coming through and he's now back in the squad having had a great period on loan with Derby.

"I thank them for that - Steve McClaren and his staff and the club did great for Jordon. He has come back improved because of the experiences.

"We've got a number of other young players that, over the next couple of years, will get the chance to come in and develop, and Jordon will be one of them."
