Mignolet is ready to replace Karius at Liverpool

This opportunity to play presents itself very rearely for goalkeepers during the season, Loris Karius' injury has been unfortunate for him but lucky for Simon Mignolet who has been sidelined for the better part of the season. Now that he has his chance with Karius' injury, Mignolet is about to get a new oppportunity to prove Jurgen Klopp he is the best man for the starring role. 

He said: "In football, things can change very quickly with an injury or an illness. Therefore you have to look after yourself, stay professional, keep your head down, work hard on and off the pitch and stay focused, which is not always easy, especially as a 'keeper'. As a striker you can come on to help the team at certain moments but here you have to wait for your chance to come and try to be ready. I only knew I was playing on Tuesday and then I had to focus on my own job to make sure I was ready to play. You have to be mentally strong as a 'keeper. I always try to be ready in this kind of period."

He continued: "The goalkeeper position is not an easy one. You can only speak about it if you are a goalkeeper yourself. We are team-mates, so of course I have sympathy. I am 28 now and I have been through it as well. At a club like Liverpool, one mistake gets really big out of nothing. I know what it is like and it's not nice. The most important thing is Liverpool football club. No individual is more important than the club. Obviously for Loris it won't be nice but he is more than capable and professional enough to deal with that and learn from it. He will get stronger."
