Caoimhin Kelleher has yet to feature for a minute of any pre-season or this campaign proper and that was due to an injury the goalkeeper sustained, following his international duties for Ireland in the summer.
Jurgen Klopp was frustrated with the Irishman’s decision to say the 23-year-old would be ‘fine after the holidays’ and it’s clear he hasn’t, given that we haven’t yet seen him in action or even proper training.
Speaking to the media ahead of the upcoming internationals, Republic of Ireland boss Stephen Kenny responded to the German by saying (via 90min): “[Dr Alyn Byrne, team doctor] has the reputation of participating in 200 international matches.

“They have medical notes, extensive notes, on every injury and we don’t have any notes on Caoimhin from that camp.
“They write everything down and there are no medical notes, so it’s interesting.
“If Caoimhin changed something, we didn’t notice. He trained with Liverpool when he came back for pre-season and got injured.
“We are fine, we have great respect for Liverpool. I’m sure it’s not a problem and we’ll all move on.”
It’s certainly some sort of disagreement between the two sets of coaches and the medical departments, with both apparently now blaming the other for how the plug was injured.
Perhaps the easiest way to end all this is to ask our No.62 personally and that would surely end any debate on this matter.
According to our boss, he felt something during international duty and felt it again as soon as he was back in action with the Reds, although it was also said then that he would only be out for ‘two, three weeks’ and now it’s more than seven. weeks ago.
It’s all a bit strange and we now have a lot of injuries in our ranks, something that has been talked about a lot, but also several of these are minor injuries that have been prolonged and have no real indication of a return.
Calvin Ramsay, Naby Keita and Curtis Jones all have ambiguous injuries with mystery return dates right now and it’s all getting a little weird.
Let’s cross our fingers that soon we will be in good health and all these problems and disputes will be behind us.
