Endo’s Unprecedented Feat Achieved by Liverpool Player After 18 Years | G3 Football

Liverpool FC’s Wataru Endo has proven his value to the team during a busy December, becoming an increasingly important player for Jurgen Klopp and a fan favorite. Klopp praised Endo’s performance in the recent 2-0 win against Burnley, stating that it would be strange to see the game without him. Endo made his 16th start of the season against Burnley, marking his fifth start in just 13 days, a feat not seen at Liverpool since the 2005/06 campaign. Rafa Benitez’s side had six players start five games in a similar timeframe back then. Endo’s consistent presence in the team is partly due to the lack of options available to Klopp, with Alexis Mac Allister still absent. Despite opportunities to rest Endo in the Europa League, Klopp chose to stick with him, as the midfielder has found his feet in English football. However, Endo will soon leave for the Asian Cup with Japan, which could rule him out for up to eight games. Klopp expressed his admiration for Endo’s game and his happiness at seeing him perform at his best.
