Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has explained his plans for Nat Phillips and Ryan Williams.

Phillips has been recalled from his loan at Celtic and Williams from Aberdeen.

Klopp said: “With Nat we have to see, we have to see. We have to consider our own situation and stuff like this. He will definitely be with us until the end of the month and then we will have talks and see our situation, that's how it is.

“We really think highly of both, to be honest, because of the things the boys did when they were here. Nat, it didn't work out 100 per cent at Celtic, a little bit injuries but then if a team like Celtic is in a positive moment and you are in the team you stay in the team, if [they are] not in a positive moment and you are in the team then you might go out, so that says nothing about the quality.

“So, Nat will train with us and then we will see how that develops.

“With Rhys it is slightly different, he will be first with the U21s. I will have to talk with him about why his loan spell didn't work out, that was obviously different and the boy I know I would expect to play in Scotland, 100 per cent, from the first to the last second if it is not Celtic or Rangers where it is always slightly different, and he didn't.

“I will have to talk to him about that and I didn't do that yet, but it will happen, definitely, and then we will see what's the outcome of that conversation."
