Loan watch: Five Reds in action
Five of Liverpool's on-loan contingent have been in action for their temporary clubs across the weekend – find out how they fared with our latest round-up.
On Friday evening, centre-back Tiago Ilori featured in the opening 27 minutes for Bordeaux before being withdrawn. They were subsequently beaten 1-0 by Reims in their Ligue 1 encounter.
The following day, Oussama Assaidi was introduced as a substitute 18 minutes into Stoke City's Barclays Premier League clash at Sunderland. The Moroccan picked up a booking as his team were overturned 3-1 at the Stadium of Light.
In the Championship, there was a Derby County start for Jordon Ibe and he was involved for 65 minutes of a goalless stalemate at home to Millwall.
Elsewhere in the same division, Joao Carlos Teixeira completed the match for Sami Hyypia's Brighton & Hove Albion in a creditable 1-1 draw away at Watford.
Brad Smith was an unused substitute, watching on as Swindon Town racked up a 2-1 victory over Leyton Orient to move into second place in League One.
In La Liga, midfielder Luis Alberto remained on the bench too. His Malaga side recovered from an early deficit to down Granada 2-1.
His compatriot Iago Aspas did enjoy some game time on Sunday, however, entering Sevilla's clash with Deportivo La Coruna for the concluding 11 minutes. They were comfortable 4-1 winners.
