Rafael Benitez has urged Emiliano Insua to give him a selection headache for the remainder of the campaign.
Insua was impressive on his 10th appearance of the campaign last week to help Liverpool maintain their title challenge by thrashing Blackburn Rovers 4-0.
The Argentine youngster had won a regular place in the side before Christmas before being called away on international duty at the South American under-20 Championships.
In his absence, Insua saw both Fabio Aurelio and Andrea Dossena regain form and fitness to battle it out for the left-back spot.
But after he made his second successive league start against Blackburn, Benitez is urging the 20-year-old to continue staking his claim in the final six games of the season.
“Insua is improving and the competition for the left back position is very high with Fabio Aurelio and Andrea Dossena,” said the Liverpool manager.
“Insua is doing well and the team is doing well. Hopefully we can see Emiliano fighting for his position until the end of the season with Fabio and Dossena.”
