The war of words between Jurgen Klopp and Stephen Kenny has deepened after the Liverpool boss reaffirmed his stance that Caoimhín Kelleher’s groin injury was undiagnosed on Ireland duty.

Kelleher has just returned to full goalkeeping training, missing the entire pre-season and Pool’s opening three matches, due to the muscle injury. The 23-year-old would have started the Community Shield curtain-raiser against Manchester City in place of the injured Alisson but for his own medical issues.
