Bench duty not an easy mentally claims Mignolet

Simon Mignolet accepts it is "not easy" to be consigned to Liverpool's bench following the signing of Alisson.

The Brazil international became the world's most expensive goalkeeper when he joined from Roma last July in a deal that could rise to £65m ($83m), although that fee was then eclipsed by Kepa Arrizabalaga's switch from Athletic Bilbao to Chelsea.

Mignolet has yet to make an appearance in the Premier League this season as a result, having battled with Loris Karius for the gloves last term, although he is set to face Wolves in the FA Cup on Monday.
