Doak has been injured for much of this season, making just one appearance for Liverpool, but he is back in training and hopes to challenge for a spot at the Euros. Clarke, according to The Sun, sees value in the youngster’s pace and energy at the top end of the pitch, though he is yet to fully decide on his squad picks.
