​Klopp brings keeper Karius back into the Liverpool fold

Liverpool keeper Loris Karius gets the chance to re-start his Reds career this weekend after boss Jurgen Klopp was forced to drop the stopper after some unconvincing performances.

"Big chance," Klopp when asked about the chances of his fellow German playing on Sunday.

"He trained outstandingly, which was good to see. It is difficult to speak about these things in public because you make it a big story and that is part of the problem.

"But we cannot ignore the pressure you (media) make. We have to cope with it and deal with it and that is why we made the change.

"I am sure Loris will benefit from this step back or step aside. It was good for him.

"Simon has done an outstandingly good job since he has been playing again and Loris has forced him to train at the highest level because we have two really good goalkeepers."
