Liverpool no.2 goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher would love to repay the faith he has been shown this season.

Kelleher, who was looking to leave the club last summer but ended up staying, has played more than he anticipated.

An injury to Alisson Becker has kept him in the team in recent weeks, which Kelleher is very much enjoying.

On the impact of Klopp announcing his departure at the end of this season and how that impacts the team, Kelleher was quoted in a recent matchday program as saying: “I think maybe a little bit [motivates the players more].

“There is that extra one per cent that we want to go on and give him a send-off he deserves, but I think from the start of the season we've had the objective to try to win trophies this year.

“We know how good we are as a squad, so I think that's remained the same really. We just want to keep doing well, take it game by game and hopefully those trophies will come."

He then added: “I think he's always been one just to tell you to always keep your confidence and things like that.

“I think whatever happens, sometimes you might not have a good game or you might not be feeling the best about your game, but he's always been a positive figure for me and always instils such confidence in me that I've always kept that belief in myself.

“He's really given me a lot of belief just to keep my confidence all the time and believe in how good of a player I am.

“Obviously he'll be a massive, massive miss. He's the only manager I've had here, so it will be a bit strange but the memories will be really good to look back on.

“He's given me my chance here and I've won trophies in 2022 and this year with him and hopefully maybe a few more before this season is out as well, so it's been really good and obviously he will be a miss."
