Former Liverpool goalkeeper Chris Kirkland thinks Adrian will stay at the club.

The Spaniard infuriated supporters when his gaffe lead to Atletico Madrid taking the lead in their Champions League last-16 tie, with the Spaniards eventually winning 4-2 on aggregate.

But Kirkland thinks the club will stand by Adrian.

Kirkland told Love Sport Radio: "There's no hiding the fact that he has made mistakes.

"Alisson's the undisputed No.1 and I think that puts extra pressure on him because of how well Alisson's performed; people are waiting for the chance that, if the No.2 keeper comes in, doesn't do as well, he's under extra pressure, you've got to take a chance.

"And unfortunately he made a mistake at Chelsea the other night and [against Atletico], but he knows that he's big enough, he's got a big enough character.

"He's been superb since he's been at the club under difficult circumstances when he first came as well with Alisson getting injured, and obviously won the Super Cup with the team and helped them to do that.

"So listen, he'll recover and he's got to do quickly because it looks as though he'll be playing at Everton on Monday night.

"I'm not sure what the contract situation is with Adrian but I'll be amazed if he's not at the club next year because of what he's done and performed and not just on the pitch, but off the pitch.

"He's in the dressing room, he's very lively. The lads have took to him extremely well. So when you make mistakes in high-profile games, these are the questions that are always going to be asked."
