Former Liverpool midfielder thinks Caoimhin Kelleher should leaveDAZN
The Irishman has been deputising for Alisson.

Former Liverpool midfielder Patrik Berger thinks that Caoimhin Kelleher should leave the club in pursuit of regular minutes.

The 25-year-old has stepped in to replace first-choice goalkeeper Alisson at times this season, and he has demonstrated that he could cut it between the sticks for many sides in top-flight football.

Berger thinks that the situation Kelleher finds himself in differs from that between Conor Bradley and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Berger, who was speaking to BoyleSports about the latest Premier League odds, said: "When we spoke about Bradley just then it is a different situation because Jurgen can rotate players and change the formation to fit certain players in there. With keepers, it is just different.

"Alisson is number one, so as a number two you don't get that many games. But Kelleher has kept us in so many games since he has come in. Thanks to him, we are where we are, because he has saved us so many points already this season.

"He is definitely a number one keeper in the Premier League somewhere, I would love him to stay at Liverpool, but he would be looking to go somewhere and play.

"It's a waste of time if you're just sitting on the bench, so I don't know what the contract situation is, but he has had the taste of being number one and he is too good to be a number two in my opinion."
