Liverpool Consider Andy Lonergan As Back-up To Alisson

Andy Lonergan is the most likely candidate to join Liverpool if Alisson’s injury keeps him out for a long time, as per reports.

The Brazilian Alisson injured his calf in the first half of Friday’s 4-1 win over Norwich and Liverpool are waiting on results of a scan.

New signing Adrian replaced Alisson and will almost certainly start Wednesday’s UEFA Super Cup against Chelsea in Istanbul.

The 35-year-old Lonergan spent part of pre-season with Liverpool and is a free agent after being released by Middlesbrough at the end of last season.

Third choice Caoimhin Kelleher is not yet fully fit after suffering a broken wrist during pre-season.
