Teenager winger Ngumoha was one of the Reds' standout performers in the 4-2 defeat to AC Milan in Hong Kong on Saturday.

The 16-year-old, who scored in last week's behind-closed-doors win over Stoke City, laid on Liverpool's opening goal for Dominik Szoboszlai and was a constant threat down the left during his first-half performance.

With Luis Diaz omitted given speculation growing over a move to Bayern Munich, there could be more opportunities for Ngumoha in the remaining warm-up programme.

The former Chelsea man is already the second-youngest player in history to feature for Liverpool's senior side having started the FA Cup third win over Accrington Stanley in January.

And Harvey Elliott, who himself made his Reds debut aged 16 back in 2019, believes Ngumoha has a "big, big chance" of becoming a regular in Arne Slot's first-team reckoning over the coming months.

"He is fearless," said Elliott.

I think he has a really, really big chance.

He just needs to keep working hard and keep going, the rest I'm sure he will handle himself.

"In the upcoming years, hopefully he can show the world and especially Liverpool why he is so highly rated."

Liverpool, operating without a striker throughout the game, were caught out by three counter-attack goals by Milan and, shortly after Cody Gakpo pulled one back during injury time, conceded with the last action following a mix-up between Kostas Tsimikas and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

"It was a really good test in really tough conditions," said Elliott.

"We had different formations we haven't really played before, players playing in different positions.

"We had some really good moments in the game but we conceded four goals and we could have avoided them.

If the ball was on one side, make sure we are both coming over to support.

"We had a really good relationship for the first time playing together, it clicked really well.

But I think the way we played and had those connections all together, it was really enjoyable to watch and play in."
