Liverpool boss shows confidence in Divock Origi

New Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is confident that Belgian international Divock Origi can prove his credentials following a season ending injury to Danny Ings.

Ings is expected to be sidelined for the 2015/16 campaign after he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his England debut, whilst Roberto Firmino and Christian Benteke are also out with hamstring and back injuries.

However, the German head coach has backed Origi to shine following the loss of three of the club's striking options.

"We have Origi – do you know him?. I learned first, you do not think about the players who are not available at this moment because there is no chance to get lucky if you do this all of the time," he told reporters.

England star Daniel Sturridge is likely to lead the line for the Reds at Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday's Premier League encounter.
