RODOLFO BORRELL has praised Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers for putting his faith in youth.

The Reds’ under-21s coach is delighted that three of his former Academy players, Raheem Sterling, Suso and Andre Wisdom, have established themselves in the first team this season.

“As a manager I can develop the players, but without a manager in the first team who has such big belief in the youngsters it would not be possible,” he said.
