“I Have Seen Enough” – TalkSport Pundit Now Shares if Caoimhin Kelleher is Good Enough to Start for Liverpool

The international break has arrived for Liverpool, but it has already brought unfortunate news regarding Alisson Becker.

Alisson is expected to be sidelined for six weeks following an injury sustained in the match against Crystal Palace. In his absence, Caoimhin Kelleher is set to take over as the Reds’ goalkeeper in the upcoming fixtures.

With significant matches ahead in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, Alisson’s absence at this crucial point in the season could seriously impact how Arne Slot’s team performs in these key competitions.

Tony Cascarino has also weighed in on how he believes Kelleher will perform as Alisson’s replacement.

Kelleher Predicted to Become Alisson’s Successor at Liverpool

Speaking on TalkSport, the pundit expressed confidence in the Republic of Ireland international, predicting that Kelleher will perform well in Alisson’s absence.

Kelleher is widely considered one of the Premier League’s top backup goalkeepers.

When asked whether Kelleher has the ability to step in for Alisson at Liverpool, Cascarino responded: “It’s an opportunity that he deserved to be a number one. What is he now? Mid-20s now. I think he is 25, Kelleher.

“He is in his prime to be a goalkeeper. I don’t have any problem in him wanting to be a first-team keeper, it’s whether he can get it at Liverpool.

“That is a question that only the manager can answer. But he can do himself no harm if he is playing regularly and performs like we know he can.

“I have seen enough of him with Ireland and with Liverpool that he is a very capable goalkeeper. So keep fingers crossed on that one.”

Kelleher has long believed he has the ability to start for a top Premier League team, with the Cork-born goalkeeper considered one of the best in the league, despite serving as a backup to Alisson at Liverpool.

As Kelleher contemplates a possible departure from Liverpool in January, he has a chance to secure his future at the club if he excels in the upcoming matches while Alisson is sidelined due to injury.

Kelleher fully understands the significance of the opportunity ahead when club football resumes next week, and a strong performance for Liverpool could greatly alter the course of his career.
