Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Raheem Sterling is in contention to make his first competitive start for Liverpool in tonight's Europa League clash with Hearts at Tynecastle.
The 17-year-old has notched up four substitute appearances for the Reds' senior side and impressed during the pre-season schedule.
Rodgers admitted: "There's a big possibility that Raheem will start. For a kid who is 17 years of age, he has been very good.
"Raheem is a player who has impressed me over the course of pre-season. He has got better and better every day.
"He understands his responsibility in the team and his team ethic is good. Plus when he gets the ball his quality has been excellent.
"Something I want to do over the years here is get young players with talent and personality into the group and into the team. He is certainly one who has shown up well."
