Loris Karius is relishing a fresh start after his Liverpool nightmare - and has been keeping himself in top condition in preparation for a comeback. Newcastle United are poised to sign the 29-year-old stopper as an emergency replacement for Karl Darlow after he suffered an ankle injury in training.
Darlow's problem may keep him out of action until early 2023, Chronicle Live understands. Nick Pope and Mark Gillespie are the only other senior goalkeepers at the club, while Martin Dubravka was recently loaned to Manchester United.
Karius fell out of favour on Merseyside after his infamous performance in the 2018 Champions League final. However, he insists that nightmare is behind him and he has been putting the work in to stay in shape ahead of his return to club football.
