Stage is set for Teixeira's home Liverpool FC debut against Bournemouth
Joao Carlos Teixeira is in contention to make his home debut in Liverpool’s League Cup tie with Bournemouth at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Boss Jürgen Klopp is considering handing the Portuguese attacking midfielder only his second senior appearance for the Reds as the German prepares to make changes with one eye on Saturday’s Premier League trip to Chelsea.
Teixeira has been waiting patiently for a chance to impress since battling his way back to fitness in pre-season after a broken leg prematurely ended a successful loan spell at Brighton last term.
Many of the Reds’ most gifted youngsters went out on loan over the summer to continue their development but Teixeira stayed put after being assured that he would get game time.
That failed to happen under Rodgers with Teixeira surprisingly omitted from Liverpool’s Europa League squad. However, the talented rookie is now hoping that Klopp, who named him on the bench for his first game in charge at Tottenham, will put his faith in him.
If Teixeira gets a run out against Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth side then he will realise a dream by making his home bow.
