Photo: Forgotten Liverpool defender sends message to team-mates ahead of Stoke clash

Jose Enrique wishes his Liverpool team-mates good luck ahead of Sunday's Stoke City clash.

Jose Enrique appears to have grown accustomed to his new Liverpool role as chief cheerleader ahead of the visit of Stoke City on Sunday.

The Spanish defender has struggled to make an impression since Jurgen Klopp took over the reins from Brendan Rodgers in October.

Enrique has been limited to a couple of appearances in the early stages of the FA Cup but hasn’t featured in the Premier League this season.

The former Newcastle United defender is being linked with a move away from the Merseyside outfit at the end of the season when his contract expires.

However, Enrique’s enthusiasm hasn’t been dampened as the defender finished up a training session on Sunday before sending a message to his team-mates.

Enhanced odds: Get 20/1 on Leicester, Liverpool and Tottenham to win

Liverpool will be looking to end a four-game winless run in all competitions when Stoke make the trip to Anfield.

The Reds are in action against Borussia Dortmund on Thursday in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final.
