Liverpool won't be rolling out the red carpet for Rhian Brewster as U23s boss Neil Critchley refuses to let World Cup winner get too big for his boots

Liverpool Under-23s coach Neil Critchley insists they will not be rolling out the red carpet for England Under-17 World Cup winner  Rhian Brewster.

The teenager is set to make his return to domestic football in the Premier League International Cup match against Newcastle at Tranmere's Prenton Park on Friday.

Brewster was back at the Kirkby academy on Tuesday for his first training session since finishing top scorer at the tournament in India and Critchley is keen to ensure it is business as usual for the 17-year-old.

'There's certainly no red carpet rolled out for him here,' he told liverpoolfc.com.

Despite the success, some players were criticised after posing with their shirts on back to front

'The experienced staff we've got here, good people with the right values, won't be getting carried away.

'There are a few people in the dressing room who will be keeping a lid on it so he won't be getting too big for his boots.' 

After winning the tournament, Brewster and several of his team-mates came under heavy criticism from the media and England manager Gareth Southgate.

The players posed during the trophy presentation with their shirts on back to front, displaying their names.

Southgate reminded the youngsters that they play for the Three Lions on the front of their shirt, not for the names on the back.

However, Critchley maintains that Brewster is a humble person and there will be no issues with him once he returns. 

'There will be no issues with him, we'll have no problems.

'He's not that type of boy anyway but, if he did [get too big for his boots], then we'd certainly nip that in the bud.

'He'll come back in and he'll be the same happy, humble boy he was before he went away.'
