Jurgen Klopp speaks out on unlikely Loris Karius situation before Man Utd EFL Cup final

Jurgen Klopp has backed former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius to shine for Newcastle if he is selected for Sunday's EFL Cup final against Manchester United.

Karius spent six years at Anfield and joined the Magpies as cover back in the summer. The German shot-stopper clocked up 49 appearances during his time on Merseyside but is widely remembered for his calamitous performance in the 2018 Champions League final.

The 29-year-old was directly at fault for two goals in the Reds' 3-1 defeat against Real Madrid and was left in tears at the final whistle in Kyiv. Karius never featured for Liverpool again after the match and was farmed out on loan until his contract expired in the summer.
