Liverpool Under-23s boss Neil Critchley has been impressed by the attitude shown by Marko Grujic and keen to get him closer to the first team.
The Reds signed the Serbian midfielder from Red Star Belgrade in January last year and despite not being a regular, he has made eleven senior appearances for the club thus far.
He has been spending more time with Liverpool Under-23s this season and has featured in three out of their six Premier League 2 games thus far.
Grujic has made an impression on Reds Under-23 manager Critchley, who feels the Serbian is a top class player and has been particularly impressed by his keen attitude and willingness to keep learning.
The Liverpool Under-23 boss is pleased to work with Grujic and is prepared to help him to get closer to becoming a regular in the first team.

Critchley told the club’s official website: “I have to say, the games that Marko has played for us, he has done very well in.
“You can see he is a top-class player and what I like about him, and I’ve not been in his company too many times, is he is a very humble boy.
“He listens and he asks you questions.
"He has got a really good attitude and he is a good boy to work with, and if we can help him get closer to the first team then that’s our job.”
Grujic has made three senior appearances for the club this season, with one being a start in Liverpool’s defeat at Leicester City in the EFL Cup third round.
