Caoimhín Kelleher said that he is happy to give Liverpool manager Arne Slot a selection headache, after the Corkman put in another strong performance in a 1-0 win away at RB Leipzig on Wednesday night.Kelleher made his fourth club appearance of the campaign in all competitions, as he continues to benefit from first-choice Alisson Becker's tendency to pick up injuries.Alisson is expected to be out for another few weeks at least but Kelleher's display against Leipzig will alleviate any fears that Liverpool will miss the Brazilian, as they look to maintain a strong start to the season under their new manager.Wednesday's win marked Kelleher's first Champions League appearance since December 2020, and speaking afterwards, he indicated that he is ready to push for the Liverpool number one shirt this season, even if he has already said that he sees his long-term future away from Anfield."All I can do is play well when I get the chance and give the manager something to think about," said the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper."Most importantly is that I do well when I do get the opportunities and show what I'm about."One of the lads asked me before the game when was my last Champions League game.
I think it was maybe three years ago. It's special to be back in this tournament and to get the clean sheet was nice." We need your consent to load this comcast-player content We use comcast-player to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity.
