# Lonergan to train with Liverpool on US pre-season tour

Former Leeds United and Preston North End goalkeeper Andrew Lonergan will be training with Liverpool during their pre-season tour of the United States, as reported in the[Liverpool Echo](https://www.lep.co.uk/sport/football/preston-north-end/pne-news/former-preston-keeper-training-with-liverpool-on-their-american-tour-1-9876880).

The 35-year-old will travel Stateside with the European champions after being released by Middlesbrough this summer.

Liverpool are currently missing four goalkeepers – Alisson, Caoimhin Kelleher, Vitezslav Jaros and Kamil Grabara – due to either holiday or injury which has called on Lonergan’s emergency arrival.

Alisson and Grabara are yet to return to training, with the former recently playing a central role in Brazil’s Copa America triumph and now enjoying a much-deserved break from football.

Pre-season offers a great opportunity to give youngsters game time, but both Kelleher and Jaros have picked up untimely injuries which make them serious doubts for the rest of the Reds’ warm-up fixtures.

Lonergan started at Preston, coming through the ranks and making 232 first-team appearances before going on the represent Leeds United, Bolton Wanderers, Wolves and Middlesbrough.
