Loris Karius is in line to be recalled by Liverpool from his dismal loan with Union Berlin.

He is set to make only his first appearance for the club this evening in the cup, after a dismal start to his loan spell.

The 27-year-old is now arguably fourth in line behind Alisson Becker, Caoimhin Kelleher and Adrian at Anfield - but could still be recalled.

Kicker says there could be a 'premature' end to the loan due to Karius' lack of gametime.

The stopper is currently second-choice between the sticks, behind 33-year-old Andreas Luthe.

And despite Karius playing in the cup this evening, he is set to remain the backup.
