Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists second-choice goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is staying at the club this season despite the Belgian having concerns about his pitch time. His attitude and professionalism last season was praised by Klopp and his backroom staff and the manager said he will be staying this summer. “At a club like Liverpool you need two number ones in the club and we have that with Ali and Simon. The 35-year-old is not signing a contract but it is understood Klopp and goalkeeping coach John Achterberg feel they need someone of a decent standard to play in training. Lonergan may also be retained for the training camp in Evian when the squad returns from America a week on Thursday.
