Kieran Morrison has only made two senior appearances for Liverpool, but the 19-year-old earned a first call-up to Michael O’Neill’s squad for this international window.

Morrison, who can play on the wing or deeper in midfield, featured for Arne Slot’s side in the EFL Cup loss to Crystal Palace, and against against Wolves in the FA Cup.

It is for Liverpool’s Premier League 2 side where Morrison has really impressed this season, however, as he has been handed the captain’s armband by former Wales boss Rob Page.

When the squad was announced, O’Neill said it was the “right time” to have a look at the versatile teenager.

He was not involved in the matchday 23 in Italy, but will be tipped to play a part on Tuesday, whether that is from the start or off the bench.
