Liverpool Eyes Keeper Andy Lonergan Due to Alisson's Injury

Liverpool are looking forward to signing veteran keeper Andy Lonergan on a free transfer after Alisson's injury.

The Reds' First-choice keeper suffered a calf injury against Norwich City in the opening match of the Premier League and was replaced by summer signing Adrian.

He would not be among the Reds’ squad for the upcoming clash against Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup. Reports noted that Alisson could be out for a minimum of four weeks.

Lonergan became an option for the Reds as the third-choice Caoimhin Kelleher is still suffering a wrist injury. The 35-year- old is free to join any club on a free transfer as he left Middlesbrough this summer.

"There is actually nothing bad to say about the game apart from Ali’s injury. That is, of course, not good for us," Klopp said during his post-match press conference on Friday.

It is worth mentioning that the Reds made an ideal start to the 2019-20 season by demolishing newly-promoted Norwich City at Anfield 4-1 on Friday night.

Norwich’s defender Grant Hanley’s own goal put the Reds ahead before the iconic Egyptian star Mohamed Salah doubled the scoring after he unleashed a right-foot shot from six yards.

Van Dijk cemented his side’s lead when he planted a downward header into the net from seven yards, scoring the third goal. Origi nodded the fourth after he flicked a header into Norwich’s net from 12 yards.

Pukki restored some dignity for Norwich after he produced a perfect finish in the 64th minute, scoring the first goal for his side.

Liverpool will resume their adventure in the Premier League against Southampton on Saturday, August 17.
