Ex-Liverpool stars urge Rio Ngumoha start as Salah criticised

Former Liverpool players have urged 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha to earn a regular Premier League starting spot following his latest impact off the bench.

Despite impressing once again from the substitutes' bench, Ngumoha is yet to make his first league start this season. Former teammates have backed the youngster to break into the first team, contrasting the calls for minutes with recent criticism aimed at Mohamed Salah.
