Klopp also confirmed that the Belgian goalkeeper has been training hard and he is confident that he will perform tonight.

Simon Mignolet used to be Liverpool top goalkeeper prior to the arrival of Loris Karius – who is currently playing on loan in the Turkish league.

The arrival of former AS Roma goalkeeper and Brazil international, Alisson Becker also saw him drop and since then he has been on the bench.

Simon Mignolet disclosed that he expected himself and not Loris Karius will be the one to leave Liverpool on loan during the transfer window.
