Liverpool reserves boss Gary Ablett admits he'll be seeking to send some of his young players away on-loan.

He told liverpoolfc.tv: "I don't see why not.

"I've spoken with Rafa Benitez about it in the past and I believe that especially the foreign lads need to do it and experience what the English game is actually like.

"For example, I don't really see the point in sending the Spanish boys back to Spain when they really need to adjust to the style of the game in this country.

"Although they may be more comfortable in their native league, we need to get them used to what they'll be involved in here where the football is very fast paced and physically competitive. It gets more and more like that lower down the divisions depending on what level we pitch a player in at."
