Young Liverpool goalkeeper Caomhin Kelleher will miss pre-season after undergoing minor surgery on a broken wrist.
The injury comes at an unfortunate time for Kelleher, who would’ve been expecting some game time over the next month as the club prepares for the 2019-20 season.
Liverpool made a club statement on the official website this morning, stating:
Caoimhin Kelleher is facing up to six weeks out of action after minor surgery. The goalkeeper underwent a small operation after sustaining a broken wrist. Kelleher is currently undergoing a rehabilitation programme with the club’s medical department, but is likely to be out of action until August.
The 20-year-old Irish stopper is Jurgen Klopp’s third-choice goalkeeper behind Alisson and Simon Mignolet and trained with the first-team regularly during the 2018-19 campaign.
He made three pre-season appearances this time last year before signing a new contract at Anfield and being named on the bench for the FA Cup third-round defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
