Ireland manager Kenny has not contacted Klopp about Liverpool keeper Kelleher

Ireland manager Stephen Kenny says he hasn't spoken to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp about Caoimhin Kelleher's injury problems.

The number two goalkeeper has been out of action all season after picking up an injury while on international duty with Ireland in June.

"No, I haven't spoken to Jurgen Klopp but the medical teams have been in constant contact so that's been evident," Kenny said.

"With Caoimhin, if Caoimhin tweaked something in the game against Ukraine it wasn't evident by his performance. He performed very well and done everything really well. I honestly wasn't aware of him being injured at that time.

"He trained with Liverpool when he went back for pre-season and got injured, but certainly it was something that we weren't aware of it.

"The good thing is he's making good progress and is back very soon, and should be back for the next camp for sure."
