Jurgen Klopp confirms Liverpool star will start in Carabao Cup final against Chelsea

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Caoimhin Kelleher will keep his place in goal at Wembley after helping Liverpool reach the Carabao Cup final. The 23-year-old is second-choice goalkeeper and some would have expected Klopp to hand the gloves back to Alisson for the final against Chelsea next month after the Brazilian’s recovery from Covid. After an assertive second-leg team performance against Arsenal was aided by Kelleher keeping a clean sheet, Klopp plans to reward Kelleher. The reds boss said:
"My idea in this moment is to play him. I don’t see any reason why we should not do that. Caoimhin deserves that. He brought the team there.   "Last week (in the first leg) against Arsenal I had to explain to Caoimhin why he is not playing. I usually do not do that, but it was his competition and I thought Ali needs the game because he was lacking rhythm after Covid and all these kinds of things.   "What I really liked was that Caoimhin was not like, “Oh yes, I understand”, he was like, “What? Why?” so he matures in all departments and that is good. That is the goalie we want."
