Slot doubles down on goalkeeper pecking order as Alisson return nears

While Caoimhín Kelleher has shone in Alisson's absence, Liverpool boss Arne Slot has said the Brazilian will return to goal before the end of the month.

Republic of Ireland international Caoimhín Kelleher looks set to continue to deputise for Alisson Becker in the Liverpool goal, but only in the short term. 

Kelleher has starred for Liverpool since Alisson injured his hamstring in early October, and continued to impress in Arne Slot's Reds' - who are nine points clear of Arsenal and Chelsea at the Premier League summit having won 18 of 20 matches this season - convincing wins over Real Madrid and Manchester City.
