| Divock Origi has been unconvincing for Liverpool so far |
LIVERPOOL supporters are pinning their hopes for this season on Divock Origi after Danny Ings suffered a cruciate knee injury in training.
Ings' injury has almost certainly ruled him out for the rest of the season and leaves new Reds boss Jurgen Klopp with just two fit strikers - Origi and Daniel Sturridge - for his first match against Spurs on Saturday.
Origi signed for Liverpool from Lille in the summer of 2014 after starring for Belgium at the World Cup.
He remained with the Ligue 1 side on loan last season and struggled for goals, scoring just nine times.
And under Brendan Rodgers this campaign, Origi's struggles continued, making just one appearance in eight games in the Premier League.
But with Christian Benteke also injured, the 20-year-old can expect more minutes in the coming weeks.
Liverpool face a tough month of fixtures with games against Southampton, Chelsea and Manchester City on the horizon.
However, supporters are rallying behind the youngster on social media.
One fan called on Origi to take the opportunity to shine with Ings and Benteke out.
While another confidently predicted the young striker will become a "monster" under Klopp.
Despite his club form, Origi is a consistent member of the Belgium national team and one fan pleaded with his fellow supporters not to write the player off.
