Mignolet admits Liverpool bench role cannot continue

Simon Mignolet admits there's no chance of him continuing with Liverpool next season if his situation doesn't change.

Mignolet claims that he can “absolutely not" continue on Liverpool's bench.

The Belgian stopper has become second choice behind Loris Karius since Christmas. Asked if he would be happy staying in the back-up role, he told HLN: “Absolutely not, this is really nothing for me, it has already been too long.

“I'm much more nervous on the bench than on the pitch, I want to be able to contribute something."

But Mignolet claims that his thoughts are not with securing a move away.

He added: “I still have a contract for three seasons and I am not busy with what is going to happen this summer, I work for the team and the World Cup, the rest is for club people and agents."
