Ex‑Liverpool Stars Urge More Starts for 17‑Year‑Old Ngumoha

Jamie Carragher and Daniel Sturridge have urged Liverpool manager Arne Slot to give 17‑year‑old Rio Ngumoha more starts following his game‑changing cameo against Nottingham Forest.

Rio Ngumoha came off the bench for the ninth time this season and turned a 1‑0 Liverpool win over Nottingham Forest into a victory, with Carragher saying he did more in 15 minutes than Salah and Gakpo did all game.

Arne Slot has managed Ngumoha’s minutes carefully, but former players argue the 17‑year‑old’s talent warrants more starts, citing his electric play and potential.
