KLOPP THROWS KIDS TO THE WOLVES

-

LIVERPOOL L manager Jurgen Klopp is ready to give youth a chance in tonight’s FA Cup tie. Curtis Jones, 17, and Rafael Camacho, 18, have been training with the first team for more than a year and will travel to Molineux. Neither has yet made a senior debut. ‘Curtis is just a fantastic player,’ said Klopp. ‘He is now with us since February last year and if you could see them every day then you would see the big steps they make. ‘Rafa Camacho is the same. We have a lot of these young boys but they have all the time in the world. ‘They are really young so it is not about pushing them into a situation. If one will play on Monday, then it is all my responsibi­lity. They only have the opportunit­y to show up and play football and all the things that don’t work are my responsibi­lity and my fault because then I made the wrong decision and they were not ready. That’s how it is.’ Wolves coach Nuno Espirito Santo has warned record buy Adama Traore he must improve as the club closes in on a deal for Tammy Abraham. Forward Traore, signed from Middlesbro­ugh for £18million last August, has scored just once and provided no assists since his move. Abraham is expected to join on loan from Chelsea this week and Nuno said: ‘Adama must improve all the aspects of the game. This is something we are really focused on because we truly believe in his qualities — he has speed, unpredicta­bility, quality.’ Fourth-round draw is LIVE on BBC 1 after tonight’s match VERDICT BET: Punters can cash in if Wolves winger Adama Traore answers his coach’s demands for more output. Coral offer 9-1 on Traore scoring the first goal.
