Brewster struck twice as the Reds came from behind to draw 2-2 in a friendly against Salzburg on Tuesday and he was also on target against Stuttgart last weekend.

Klopp has confirmed Brewster will play some part in Saturday’s Community Shield against Arsenal and, at present, he is in his plans.

“We want to use and help Rhian, that is why we have to make decisions – but not now.

“He looks really promising. Goals are the most important thing in the football world and he can score them, so that’s good, but he is still a boy so, and in this position, number nine, experience helps a lot.

“We have to see how we can give him experiences here, or is it somewhere else. It’s not decided yet. Why should it? There is no reason to rush anything.

“At the moment he is here and he will be involved (on Saturday), for sure.”
