Klopp believes the "door is open" for Liverpool youngsters to stake their claim for more minutes this season as he noted the progress of Conor Bradley, Ben Doak and Bobby Clark.
Klopp will include a number of Academy players in the squad that jets out on Saturday to begin a 10-day training camp in southern Germany
winger Doak and midfielder Clark made their first-team breakthrough for the Reds last season while right-back Bradley has returned after a superb campaign with Bolton
With Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai the only new arrivals so far this summer, there is scope for minutes for youngsters during the forthcoming friendlies at Karlsruhe
Klopp said:
"There are now not too many new players but (we have) a lot of young players, of course, in and young players for who the door is open, who can play a different role next season. They are all a year older, looking really good – Conor Bradley looking really good, Ben Doak really good, Bobby Clark grew somehow, which is normal!
“They all can play a slightly different role if they want and yeah, how I said, there is an open door for that.
“So, bring it all together and train as much as somehow possible, having short ways back to the bed or to the canteen or restaurant, that’s good. Yeah, having two games and the first two games we play will be interesting, of course.”
Of the training camp, Klopp said to liverpoolfc.com: “(It will be) super-important. Super, super-important. We have a lot of sessions there, not a lot of spare time, I would say. Two games, one in the middle, one at the end. Yeah, very important."
