• Former Middlesbrough goalkeeper figured in Liverpool’s US tour• Alisson expected to be out for six to eight weeksAndy Lonergan is being considered as a short-term solution to Liverpool’s goalkeeping crisis with Alisson expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks with a calf injury.
The 35-year-old is a free agent having been released by Middlesbrough at the end of last season and provided cover for Simon Mignolet during Liverpool’s summer tour of the US, which Alisson missed as he recovered from Brazil’s Copa América triumph. The manager, Jürgen Klopp, may again turn to the former Preston, Leeds and Bolton keeper with the offer of a short-term contract once the extent of Alisson’s injury has been confirmed.
