Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp does not intend to rotate his goalkeepers during the Champions League this season.
The Guardian reports that Simon Mignolet will struggle for game time in Europe this season.
It had been claimed that Klopp could look to offer the Belgian some first-team football in Europe during the group stages of the competition, but that no longer appears the case.
Mignolet, who is now Liverpool’s number two, looks set for limited first-team football in the FA Cup or League Cup going forward.
The Belgian has come in for criticism from Klopp is recent days after voicing his confusion at Loris Karius’ departure from the club.
Karius joined Besiktas after a disappointing end to last season, leaving Mignolet as the back-up to summer signing Alisson.
The Reds have been given a tricky group that includes both Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli, alongside Serbian outfit Red Star Belgrade.
After impressing against Napoli in pre-season, Klopp’s men will be hopeful of progressing from the group stages.
