Newcastle team-mate admits Loris Karius' career has "nosedived" before Man Utd final

Callum Wilson believes Loris Karius has "so much to prove to people" after the Newcastle goalkeeper's career took a "nosedive" nearly five years ago.

Karius, 29, was Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper ahead of the 2018 Champions League final but was deemed surplus to requirements after making two howlers which gifted Real Madrid two goals in the 3-1 loss. He hasn't played a senior game for an English side since.

The German signed for Newcastle last September and has spent most of his time at St James' Park on the bench. Yet he could start Sunday's EFL Cup final as first-choice goalkeeper Nick Pope is suspended and second-choice Martin Dubravka is cup-tied.
