Liverpool are confident that Simon Mignolet will be available for selection for Saturday’s trip to play Spurs at Wembley Stadium, according to the Liverpool Echo.
The Reds have suffered another blow to the goalkeeping corps today, with Caoimhin Kelleher suffering an injury in training and facing up to a month on the sidelines.
With Mignolet suffering from a sprained finger, Kelleher had been tipped by many to be named on the bench for the match in London at Saturday lunchtime.
However, the fitness of the Belgian is reportedly not a big concern for manager Jürgen Klopp, who expects to be able to call on the veteran shot-stopper to back up Alisson Becker at the weekend.
With a busy schedule of games ahead, Mignolet could see his number called before long in the Carabao Cup, and perhaps even Champions League group stage games.
The 30-year-old tried to force his way out of Liverpool in the summer, only to be retained by Klopp – much to Mignolet’s chagrin.
