Executing spring web client causing DeferringLoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction non qualifying bean exception

Question

I have created spring boot project with spring webflex. Idea is to learn the spring webclient and related stuffs. On start of application, I am getting below error

Error creating bean with name 'loadBalancerWebClientBuilderBeanPostProcessor' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/cloud/client/loadbalancer/reactive/LoadBalancerBeanPostProcessorAutoConfiguration.class]: 
Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'loadBalancerWebClientBuilderBeanPostProcessor' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: 
No qualifying bean of type 'org.springframework.cloud.client.loadbalancer.reactive.DeferringLoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction<?>' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate. 
Dependency annotations: {}
 

I have dependencies like spring-cloud-dependencies/spring-boot-starter*/spring-cloud-context in my maven dependencies. Error just giving information that DeferrringLoadBalancerExchangeFilterFunction is not available, I have tried injecting it using @Bean in my configuration class. But error still persists. Please advice
