Kostas Tsimikas spent his first season at Liverpool out in the cold but now, after a fine pre-season and with Andy Robertson injured, the Greek defender finally has a chance to prove to Jurgen Klopp he can contribute at Anfield

It is never easy to arrive at a new club as an understudy in football but for Kostas Tsimikas it has been a difficult first year at Liverpool.

For Jurgen Klopp and sporting director Michael Edwards, finding cover for Andy Robertson is a tough sell.

How do you promise someone game time when your main player in that position is so reliable and one of the best in the world?

Robertson played in every single one of Liverpool's 38 Premier League games last season.
