On the 19-year-old’s inclusion, : “He is the next really exciting prospect. If you see him training… next season will be his season, his first real season.

“He is now physically an adult, he grew a lot, he worked a lot and the training session today was, to be honest, pretty impressive.

“He is with us, he is our player and we want to have him around. In this case I thought, ‘Come on, it’s Barcelona, let’s give him a first sniff.’”

Brewster is unlikely to play but he remains highly-rated by club and country. The England youth international was part of the U17 World Cup winning squad in 2017.

During that tournament, Brewster scooped the golden boot and he is thought to be a top talent for the future. Here are some tweets from Liverpool fans discussing Brewster’s inclusion in the first-team squad.
