Arne Slot has just PROMOTED extremely versatile Liverpool youngster into first team squad

Arne Slot brought another new face into his Liverpool first team squad ahead of the Reds' game against Bournemouth. 

The Liverpool head coach has not rotated his squad a lot since taking over the reins. He's been cautious in giving young players opportunities, too.

That's a stark contract to Jurgen Klopp's methods, but it doesn't mean Slot isn't giving the club's young stars opportunities.

Recently, Liverpool youngster Tom Hill was included in the club's Premier League and Champions League squad.

And even more recently, two Liverpool youngsters got to train with Slot's first team ahead of the Reds' game against Bournemouth.

Arne Slot promotes two Liverpool players into his first team squad

With a Champions League game during midweek for the first time in Slot's reign, it remains to be seen how much he rotates against the Cherries on Saturday.

But ahead of the game, he has called upon some of the club's young stars and promoted them to first team training.

On Thursday, James Norris and Tommy Pilling were involved in first team training as Slot's squad were taken through the gears.

Pilling is a central midfielder who has been at the academy from a very young age. He is still only 19 years old and currently plays for the club's U21 side.

He is predominantly more defensive minded, having made 84 appearances for the club's U21, U19 and U18 side so far and scoring just one goal.

Who is versatile youngster James Norris?

On the other hand, Norris is an extremely versatile player. The 21-year-old can play as a left-back, left-winger and as a central and holding midfielder as well.

He's already played twice for the club's first team and even when out on loan to Tranmere Rovers.

This is one of his first involvement with Slot's first team, with the recognition coming after Norris' impressive start.

He has one goal and one assist in three Premier League 2 appearances this season.
