Jurgen Klopp sends Loris Karius message as former Liverpool goalkeeper set for surprise comeback
February 19, 2023
Jurgen Klopp has told Newcastle United they should have no doubts about starting former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius in next weekend’s League Cup final against Manchester United.
The Magpies saw first-choice goalkeeper Nick Pope sent off in the first half for deliberate handball as the Reds ran out 2-0 winners. And while Martin Dubravka was brought on to go in goal, the Slovakian is cup-tied having played in the competition when on loan at Old Trafford earlier in the season.
With Karl Darlow out on loan at Hull City, Karius is in contention to start at Wembley as a result after joining the Magpies on a short-term deal back in September. Should he play, it will be the German’s debut for the club.
