Jurgen Klopp says Caoimhin Kelleher has done enough to prove he can be Liverpool’s No.2 goalkeeper, with the young Irishman set to start Sunday’s Premier League clash with Wolves at Anfield.
With Reds first choice Alisson Becker sidelined with a hamstring issue, the 22-year-old was an impressive deputy as Klopp’s side beat Ajax 1-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Making his European debut, and only his fifth professional club appearance, Kelleher made fine saves from Noussair Mazraoui and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to ensure Liverpool progressed to the last 16, with Klopp fulsome in his praise for the Cork-born shot-stopper afterwards.
