Klopp trusts Mignolet after Karius' injury

The aftermath of a really rough friendly match against Chelsea was really complicated for Liverpool FC, there were a few fallen soldiers that left that game. Newly signed goalkeeper Loris Karius was one of the players who got the worst part of it, he broke his hand during the match and he won't return until almost three months from today. But despite this setback, Jurgen Klopp is relaxed and not worried because he has Simon Mignolet to replace him. 

About Karius' possible return, Klopp told the press that: "Timing is never perfect with injuries – not for him, not for us. But it's not that I decided about who is number one or something else. It was collecting information about the players so we had a few about him, we had a few about Mignolet. It was only a battle between these two players obviously so now this battle is decided for the next few weeks, 100 per cent. It's only about who can help us most in which situation, which game, so I'm really happy of course that we have Simon and hopefully he can stay in the race and not get injured."

He added that: "It's not cool for the boy, it's not cool for us, but we can't change it, we have to take it. We have another three goalkeepers and everybody knows about the quality of Simon Mignolet so all good. He made a really good impression in the first few days since he's back in training. We have the very experienced Alex Manninger and we have the very young Shamal George so that's now the situation. It could have been worse so everybody knows a broken bone in the hand for a goalkeeper is not the best thing to have so it could have been worse. Six, eight, 10 weeks whatever it will take at the end, it's not the longest period but not too good of course."
