Sixteen-year-old Liverpool protege Trey Nyoni was offered the chance to train with the Reds' first team ahead of their Europa League showdown with Toulouse on Thursday.
The 2007-born attacker was previously on the books with Leicester City's youth academy, but he left the Foxes to sign for Liverpool this summer and has made an immediate impression at Anfield.
Capable of playing in a variety of offensive roles - either as a number nine, number 10 or winger - Nyoni scored in each of his first three appearances for Liverpool's Under-18s against Blackburn Rovers, Everton and Sunderland.
The 16-year-old was also called up to the Under-21s squad for a Premier League 2 fixture with Crystal Palace earlier this month, although he was an unused substitute in that 4-2 victory.

An England Under-17 international, Nyoni made his age-group debut for the Three Lions earlier this month, playing 71 minutes of a 2-2 draw with Norway in an international friendly.
As a reward for his continued development, Nyoni was invited to join up with the senior squad at Kirkby on Wednesday, as the Reds gear up for their third Europa League match of the season.
However, the youngster will not be able to make his debut against Toulouse, as he would have had to have spent two years at the club to be eligible for the Reds' B list in European competition.
With Nyoni not being named on the A list either, the Englishman will be kept waiting for his debut, while fellow prospect Ben Doak is also uncertain for Thursday's game due to the knock he sustained on international duty.
