'It felt like I had been mentally released': Ben Davies has expressed his relief at leaving Liverpool to get regular football... and admits it started to dawn on him that he would never feature under Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool outcast Ben Davies has spoken about his relief at leaving the club on loan to get regular game time.

The centre back was signed late in the January transfer window as Jurgen Klopp hurried to find defensive cover with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Fabinho all out injured.

Davies joined the club from Preston for £2million alongside Ozan Kabak, but unlike the Turk, the 26-year-old did not make a single appearance last season for the Reds despite their injury crisis and didn't get a look-in at the start of this term.
