Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has been excellent for the Reds in recent weeks .

The 25-year-old was man-of-the-match in Ireland 's 1 -0 win over Finland on Thursday .

Alisson Becker's imminent return from injury means he is likely to be Liverpool 's first choice.

The Brazilian has been Liverpool 's number one since his Â66.8m move from Roma in 2018 .

Kelleher has not played nearly as much football as he ideally would have.

He has played 20 league games and 55 matches in total for Liverpool - plus 19 times for the Republic of Ireland .

He is older than incoming Reds keeper Mamardashvili , who has played 178 club matches, and even Italy 's Gianluigi Donnarumma .

The 26-year-old has the club record for penalty shootout saves in four Carabao Cup shootouts.
