I think [rehab] taught me I am a strong person to have been through what I have been through in the last 13 months. It’s been a bumpy ride, but for me to come out of the other end, I think has helped me a lot.

There were so many points during the rehab where I thought I wanted to scrap football or I was feeling annoyed at the situation I was in, but to get through it and reach the other end, it’s shown me I am a strong person and that I know what I want to do.

Thankfully for Brewster and Liverpool, the young striker is now edging ever closer to his return to action.

The 18-year-old has not played for over a year as a result of a nasty ankle injury.

Brewster has long been tipped for big things at Liverpool but has already seen his development derailed at such a young age.

It is believed that Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool still have high hopes for the player who returned to light training this week.
