Jeremie Aliadiere has raised questions about the impact of Alexander Isak on Hugo Ekitike's role at Liverpool. "That's my question to Liverpool, you could buy Isak, a top player, but if I'm Ekitike, (I'm saying), 'I'm on the bench, I'm not going to be very happy.

I want to play games, I was playing every game before he arrived, and now I'm in competition with him.' "I think they will play together at some point, but I'd be disappointed being on the bench. (I'd say), 'I proved last year that I was a goalscorer, and I could score goals' - so it's how he will manage." The Sweden international picked up a groin problem against Frankfurt and remains doubtful for this weekend's fixture, which could provide Ekitike with an opportunity for an extended run following his explosive start to the campaign.

Aliadiere continued: "It all depends, having competition is always good, you need competition and as long as it's fair and not related to the price-tag or how much you've paid for Ekitike or Isak because if you start playing Isak over him because he's worth more money then I'd be a bit disappointed. "I'm not sure, I saw him shooting from 30 yards and I'm thinking, 'You might have made a better pass there,' but because he's come on, he's trying to impress and have an impact, it's a little bit selfish in some ways.
