Rafael Benitez has praised the talents of Brazilian midfielder Lucas and has backed him to make a big impact at Liverpool.
The former Gremio star played a key role in the Merseyside derby win over Everton last weekend, when he had the shot that led to the winning penalty, and the Reds manager said he would not hesitate to give him a chance in a big game again.
"It could be that he can now feature more," said Benitez. "I was talking about Lucas for a long time, and maybe people didn't know too much about him. He is a player with quality and experience.
"He's only 20 but already has experience at international level. I have a lot of confidence in him, though we do have very good players in the middle.
"He will need time, but he has shown now the quality he has."
