RB Leipzig sporting director Schroder takes swipe at Liverpool youngster Carvalho

RB Leipzig sporting director Rouven Schroder has explained the struggles of Fabio Carvalho.

The Liverpool attacker spent six months with RBL before leaving and starting a new loan at Hull City last week.

He realised 'Okay, there's a competitor here, I have to do more!' And we noticed that he didn't want to face the competition," Schroder told reporters in Germany.

"We asked ourselves the question: Do we feel more comfortable with a man or are we clear and straight and say 'Listen, if you don't want to go with us, then we'll end the loan.'

"You shouldn't be afraid of a break-off."
