Liverpool will be playing Leicester in♎ the Carabao Cup tonight and Pepijn♎ Lijnders has hinted that Caoimhin Kelleher could start.

The Liverpool goalkeeper has been 💧very happy to bide his time on the bench and be cover to top player Alisso𝐆n.

He has played 22 times for Liverpool and has made ten clean sheets over four years at the clu꧃b. This is few appearances 𓂃in four years but the 24 year-old is clearly happy.

No🐎w, it looks like he could be getting another opportunity in 𝓀the starting lineup, typically like he has done, in a cup game.

Pepijn Lijnders on Kelleher

When it comes to opportunities for players who do not start consistently, they need to take their chancesᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ. Lijnders was full of praise for Kelleher in his press conference ahead of the match.

Speaking about Kelleher, Lijnders : “For m🍷e he could play in any PL team, he’s a world class keeper. He needs game time. It𓆏 was good that he stayed with us. We want two top ones in each position.”

This is no doubt ๊very high praise fromꦬ the Liverpool assistant manager about the goalkeeper and it will no doubt give him a huge boost ahead of the match.

If he starts, it will no doubt be greaཧt for him and against a side in the division below it feels like a perfect opportunity to do so.

The 24 year-old, who has made 10 appearances 🍰for his country Ireland clea🍎rly has some quality and he is still at a young age for a goalkeeper.

With Alisson 30 yearܫs-old, Kelleher is no doubt hopefully♔ waiting in the wings to see if he can become the potential successor for the Brazilian.
