Liverpool’s Youngsters Face Off in International Action
Liverpool’s youngsters have been in action across the world recently, with two of them facing off in an international game between England and Wales, while another put in a strong claim to start at the upcoming World Cup.
Calum Scanlon and Lewis Koumas Go Head-to-Head
Calum Scanlon and Lewis Koumas went from teammates to rivals as the pair played against each other for England U19s and Wales U19s, respectively. Thankfully, they can remain friends after the points were shared, with the match ending 1-1.
Koumas started in attack for the Welsh, but couldn’t manage to score himself. However, his teammate, Ben Lloyd, did net after 55 minutes, but the visitors couldn’t hold out as Millwall’s Romain Esse scored an equaliser and, with 20 minutes left to play, that’s how the scoreline remained.
Tom Hill and Owen Beck Play for Wales Under-21s
At under-21 level, Liverpool had another two youngsters involved for Wales, as Tom Hill and Owen Beck‘s side scored a 96th minute equaliser to also draw 1-1, against the Czech Republic. While Hill was replaced after 64 minutes, Beck, who is featuring regularly on loan for Dundee this season, played another full match as his development goes from strength to strength.
Jayden Danns Starts for England Under-18s
Elsewhere, the Reds’ talented young forward, Jayden Danns, started in a strong England under-18 side that beat Morocco 1-0 in their preparations for the under-17 World Cup. Danns is a shoo-in for the team if he continues to perform as well as he has for Liverpool this season. The tournament will be held in Indonesia and starts in November.
Trent Kone-Doherty Plays for Republic of Ireland
Trent Kone-Doherty has also been in action, playing 72 minutes in a 3-0 win for the Republic of Ireland against the Faroe Islands. The 17-year-old already has six goals in eight games for Liverpool this season.
Liverpool’s Youngsters Making an Impact on the International Stage
It’s great to see Liverpool’s youngsters making an impact on the international stage. With so many talented players coming through the ranks at Anfield, it’s no surprise that they are being recognised by their respective countries.
The future looks bright for Liverpool and these young players will be key to their success in the years to come. With the World Cup coming up in November, it will be interesting to see who makes the cut and who will be representing their countries on the biggest stage of all.
We wish all of Liverpool’s youngsters the best of luck as they continue to make their mark on the international stage.
