Liverpool defender Quansah ready to step up for injured Gomez

Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah says he is ready to step up if manager Arne Slot is called upon.

Quansah is set for a run as a starter after Joe Gomez broke through in victory at West Ham on Sunday.

He told the club’s website: “I think it’s what you do before the game. It’s the training we’ve put in and just trying to feel as confident as you can come on the pitch really and know that you are Ready. The coaching staff has done a great job of helping us with that – obviously I haven’t played too many minutes, but just being ready and knowing that I’m ready will always put me in good stead.

“It’s tireless work. It’s hard, to be honest. Of course you train a lot, you run a lot, but yeah, it’s just trying to keep your body ready and training good habits. This is what you have to do: Just stay ready.

“I feel like we learned a lot from the Spurs game as well. I think it shows learning because we are in a similar position against them and maybe we let them creep back into the game a little bit, and today I think we wanted to show That we are able to see games and see it in a dominant way.”
