Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson says Tyler Morton hasn t looked fazed in his displays for the first team and believes the teenager has a big future ahead of him .
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has handed Morton five starts across all competitions so far this season, as well as a further two substitute appearances for a combined total of 426 first-team minutes.
The 19-year-old played the full 90 minutes in Liverpool s Champions League victories over Porto and Milan, as well as the EFL Cup fourth-round win over Preston North End, and was handed his first Premier League start in the recent 2-2 draw at Tottenham.
And Henderson has been impressed with his fellow midfielder s performances and development since the start of the season, tipping Morton to go on to big things.
Tyler has been brilliant over the last few months, I really think he has improved, Henderson said to Liverpool s official website.
He has obviously learned and listened to a lot of the lads around him in training and being around the lads, in the dressing room and in training, it will certainly help him.
And I think that has helped him going into games, I think he has looked comfortable and he hasn t looked fazed at all and he has done really well.
So hopefully he can just carry on doing that. He is a great lad as well, he has worked extremely hard and I m sure he ll have a big future ahead of him.
Liverpool currently sit six points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City with a game in hand, and travel to the King Power Stadium to play Leicester City on Tuesday.
