Caoimhin Kelleher has hinted that he may reconsider his position at Liverpool at the end of the season.
The Irish shot-stopper is currently second choice goalkeeper behind Alisson Becker of Brazil. Despite limited gametime, Kelleher has impressed and holds the record for most penalty shootout wins for a Liverpool goalkeeper.
The lack of gametime however has seen his international career stall a touch, with rival Gavin Bazunu playing week in week out for Southampton.

For now, Kelleher is happy being at Liverpool and will be ready to perform when called upon. What the future holds after this season however is much less clear.
"Obviously when I get my chance I need to take it," Kelleher said to the Liverpool Echo. "That is all I am focusing on really. I just need to be ready so I can step in if there's an injury or if I'm needed.
"I am quite relaxed, so I don't mind watching, but obviously I'd rather be playing but I just try to be as focused as I can be when I watch so I am ready if I am needed
"Listen, I think we've obviously only just come back into the middle of the season. So we'll just see what the season brings and then after that we'll see, we'll see what happens after that. But I think at the moment, for now, I just have to be focused on trying to be ready for Liverpool."
Kelleher's most recent appearance came last week in a 3-2 league cup loss to Manchester City. This defeat ended Liverpool's hopes of retaining the title that they won last season, and also limits Kelleher's potential playing time.
"We had a good couple of weeks away in Dubai in the training camp. It's never easy to go straight back into an intense game like this, but I thought the players did really well to adapt and there was maybe 15 minutes or so where we were just trying to find our feet a bit. I thought we did quite well.
"Hopefully I get another game [against Wolves] to show that I am good enough at this level and put in a good performance.
"The manager was pleased with most aspects of the game and I thought we played some good stuff, so it was mainly positive from the manager to be fair because I think it was mainly a positive performance.
"I think the result aside, that wasn't positive, but in terms of it being our first game back I think it was a positive performance. I don't think there was too much between us really, both teams had chances and we could have been a bit more clinical but there wasn't much between us
"We're disappointed to go out of the competition but I think we can take a lot of positives as well, we played some good stuff. Disappointment is the overall feeling. I don't think there was too much between the two teams, both teams had their chances, I think they were just more clinical. There wasn't too much between us.
"I made a few saves but that is my job. The team did really well to score two great goals, I just think we were a bit unlucky.
