Nothing beats Twitter going into overdrive when it comes to transfer stories, with the good old ITKs surfacing to give their ‘concrete’ breaking news.

The transfer window may be done and dusted in England, but that hasn’t stopped a big Liverpool rumour doing the rounds on Monday.

According to many on social media, the Reds are planning on recalling Loris Karius from his loan spell at Besiktas.

That’s due to the injury suffered by Alisson against Norwich City on Friday night, which some are fearing could be more serious than first thought.

Adrian is the only fit goalkeeper at Liverpool currently, although there are rumours that Andy Lonergan could sign a short-term deal, having spent the summer at Anfield.

Talk of a Karius comeback has unsurprisingly caused a meltdown among Reds supporters, following his disastrous performance in the 2018 Champions League final against Real Madrid.

Here’s a look at the best of the reaction on Twitter.

There may be no truth in the story – Karius is reportedly back in the UK, though – but if true, it raises immediate concerns about Alisson’s well-being.

The Brazilian managed to limp off on Friday, and while initial fears were that he had suffered a calf injury, a more serious Achilles issue has not been ruled out.

Losing Alisson for a long spell would be an almighty blow for Liverpool, but Karius returning would also spread panic.

While every Reds supporter would be desperate for him to thrive, the damage that his Champions League final nightmare has done could be irreparable.

Would you be happy with Karius returning?
