Mignolet to return for Liverpool against Chelsea, confirms Klopp

Alisson has consigned the Belgium ace to the sidelines for the Reds this season but he will start the EFL Cup clash

Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet will return to Liverpool's starting line-up for the EFL Cup match against Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed.

Alisson's arrival during the close season has consigned the Belgium international to the sidelines this term, while he lost his starting spot to Loris Karius – now on loan at Besiktas – in 2017-18.

But Klopp confirmed at a news conference that Mignolet will be in the first XI when Chelsea arrive at Anfield for Wednesday's third-round game.
