Liverpool have hired a mental health consultant to protect their young players from the trauma of vile online trolling.
The club have recruited top psychiatric therapist Ishbel Straker to hold one-on-one clinics with upcoming stars, helping them to cope with racist abuse, sudden fame and addiction issues.
The move — the first of its kind in the Premier League — has been implemented to guard youngsters who are breaking into the first team from social media vitriol.
