News about Caoimhin Kelleher

Sir Alex Ferguson's old adage says that your defence wins you titles, and while Liverpool's back-line has been good, it hasn't been imperious. Could Sepp van den Berg be the answer? Perennially farmed out on loan, the 22-year-old has wooed admirers with good performances at Mainz in the Bundesliga this season. He is rated as the best under-23 centre-back in Europe's top five leagues by WhoScored.com. Should he have a big role at Liverpool next season, or is he too much of a gamble?

Fans have claimed Liverpool are 'checked out' based on a video from training posted on social media. In a clip uploaded to the club's account on X, after receiving the ball in a training game Trent Alexander-Arnold fires a well-taken strike beyond Caoimhin Kelleher. However, immediately after the video was uploaded supporters began to take umbrage with Alexander-Arnold's teammates failing to put him under any pressure prior to the shot.

LEWIS STEELE: Virgil van Dijk has played through the last two Liverpool games with a dislocated finger which was 'pointing the wrong way' when suffered. The Reds captain needed treatment in the first minutes of Liverpool's away game at Atalanta on Thursday and it can be revealed he suffered a dislocated finger and had to have it popped back into place. It is the second time the 32-year-old has had the injury, first happening playing for the Netherlands against Norway. 

Alisson returned to Liverpool's starting XI on Sunday after missing eight Premier League matches with a hamstring injury that threatened to derail his season - but the blessing in disguise was the form of No 2 keeper Caoimhin Kelleher. The Irishman was subject to strong interest from Nottingham Forest in the last days of the January transfer window but Liverpool turned down the relegation-threatened club's approaches. Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is keen to re-explore signing Kelleher, though. Santo, a former goalkeeper himself, is a huge fan of Kelleher, though his stellar performances over the last two months have done Liverpool's bargaining position no harm this summer, with his price-tag only going in one direction.

Liverpool were left stunned at Anfield after suffering a shock 3-0 defeat by Atalanta in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie. Jurgen Klopp rang the changes ahead of kick off, but they almost backfired straightaway with his side having Caoimhin Kelleher to thank for a stunning save at point-blank range from Mario Pasalic. The Reds were at far from their best and Gianluca Scamacca gave his side a deserved opener, although his effort did squirm through Kelleher's hands.

Caoimhin Kelleher was hailed by Liverpool fans supporters after making a save with his face in the early stages of their Europa League quarter-final, before some fans suggested the stop contributed to a later error by the goalkeeper. Kelleher was called into action in the third minute of Liverpool's last eight tie against Atalanta at Anfield. The Italian side looked poised to take an early lead with the ball falling invitingly for Mario Pasalic in the box.

Throughout the first half, Jurgen Klopp's team won, with Luis Diaz netting from a corner to give them the lead on 23 minutes. Following the re-start, the tourists had managed 15 shots, with United unable to register even one, but the tide would turn suddenly following the restart. Bruno Fernandes, after spotting a bad pass from Jarell Quansah and finding Reds goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher off his line, has sent his team back to level pegging.

JOE BERNSTEIN: Caoimhin Kelleher, the Premier League's goalkeeper, has promised to 'right a wrong' as the Premier League's champions return to Old Trafford three weeks after being pushed out of the FA Cup. Kelleher is undefeated in nine league games deputising for the injured Alisson and relishing the opportunity to avenge Liverpool's 4-3 loss in the cup when Amad Diallo scored in the final minute of extra-time. The 25-year-old said, 'We wanted to return as soon as possible to correct the wrong of that loss.'

Dominic KING: Jurgen Klopp has given Caoimhin Kelleher the ultimate support, despite the fact that Liverpool will not be trying to triumph a Treble without him. Kelleher of the Republic of Ireland will make his 24th appearance of the season against Sheffield United, a figure that will unquestionably compare the number of Alisson Becker, Liverpool's number one, has made so far. Alisson, who many thought he was Liverpool's Player of the Year, suffered from a hamstring injury at the start of February. The Brazilian continues to make good strides in his recovery, and it is likely that he will re-join team training next week.

Jurgen Klopp has reported how long Alisson Becker will be back to action for Liverpool. Since losing 3-1 to Arsenal on February 4, the Brazilian goalkeeper has been out of action with a hamstring injury. Caoimhin Kelleher, Liverpool's second-choice goalkeeper, has excelled in Alisson's absence, winning the Carabao Cup and not losing a single match in that time.

The goalkeeper is currently out injured in the Reds' attempt to win the Premier League, missing since the start of February with a hamstring strain in his return date uncertain. Jurgen Klopp referred to the situation as 'rather serious,' although Caoimhin Kelleher, the Brazilian's deputy so far, has impressed. Alisson has been with Liverpool for his recovery and took time out of his schedule to select his dream goalkeeper after missing international service with Brazil and his victory over England at Wembley on Saturday.

OLIVER HOLT: It's just a small sample, but every Arsenal fan I know is suspicious of the title race, so I'm afraid of it. Especially Kevin, who has had a season ticket for the majority of our adult lives. I asked him if he believed today. Manchester City will finish first, and Liverpool will finish second, according to him. 'I'd be dissatisfied if we didn't place third,' he said. All the usual reasons seem to be gloomy to me. Arsenal has to travel to City, Manchester United, and Spurs - not to mention Molineux and the Amex until the season's end,' he said. They have a more difficult run-in than their two rivals, who have larger and more squads. Arsenal and Liverpool are so relentless that Arsenal can't afford to drop points anywhere, and he can't imagine that happening. City and Liverpool know how to get it done, according to he. They have both been champions in the last five years. Arsenal has the muscle memory that Arsenal lacks.

PLAYER RATINGS: Liverpool defeated Sparta Prague 5-1 on Thursday night, putting one foot forward in the Europa League's quarterfinals.

Jurgen Klopp is thankful goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher stayed at Liverpool last summer following rumors about his future. After being dissatisfied with his position as Alisson's understudy, Kelleher spoke to Klopp, but Liverpool failed to receive a realistic bid and the manager was unable to convince him that Anfield would have a future. The 25-year-old Irishman has been outstanding since Alisson sustained a serious hamstring injury, earning the gambit.

Although most of the accolades are directed to players in the outfield, when a football club's triumph, one cannot overstate enough the importance of a reliable goalkeeper.
