Jurgen Klopp on Adrian Return

Goalkeeper Adrian makes his first Liverpool start since October, deputising for Alisson.

Caoimhin Kelleher is currently sidelined through injury whilst the Brazilian is absent on compassionate grounds. 

The former-West Ham shot-stopper joined the Reds in the summer of 2019 on a free transfer and has acted as cover for Alisson.

However, this season has saw a shift in the goalkeeping pecking order for Liverpool as Irishman Kelleher overtook the Spaniard to become number two after a run of questionable appearances for the 34-year-old goalkeeper.

Whilst the 22-year-old continues his recovery adding to the champions injury woes, he is expected to return in the next week.

Adrian was between the sticks during Liverpool’s 7-2 demolition to the hands of Aston Villa and then for the 2-2 draw with rivals Everton at Goodison.

Speaking before kick-off the 53-year-old German said: “[He is] as ready as possible, he is a top professional. When we changed the situation slightly and Caoimhin became number two, he took it like a professional.

“He always trains at the highest standard so no problem about that, he will be fine.”
