Daniel Ayala has backed compatriot Francisco Duran to follow him into the first-team set-up.
A series of cruciate ligament injuries has stalled the cultured midfielder's development since Liverpool beat Arsenal to his signature in January 2007.
However, he enjoyed an impressive run in the Reserves during the second half of 2009-10 - and Ayala thinks his pal has the ability to make an impression in the Barclays Premier League.
"I think there's a lot of good players there in the Reserves," the Spanish teenager told Liverpoolfc.tv. "In particular I'd mention Francisco Duran, and there are others I think can breakthrough.
"Unfortunately Francisco has been very unlucky with injuries, but he's a very good footballer, he's very good with the ball.
"He's also a very good friend of mine off the pitch along with Emmanuel Mendy."
