Caoimhin Kelleher will start Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie against Derby County as part of a rotated Liverpool team.
The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper was, of course, instrumental in last season’s victory in the competition and starred in the penalty shootout win over Chelsea in the final.
And Pepijn Lijnders has confirmed Kelleher will make his first senior appearance of 2022-23 versus the Rams at Anfield.
“Yeah, Caoimh deserves it. If you shoot the last penalty in [in the final], it would be a disgrace if we took him out now!” the assistant manager told Liverpoolfc.com on Tuesday afternoon.
