Karius dropped by Liverpool FC as Mignolet recalled

Simon Mignolet will return for Liverpool tonight at Middlesbrough after Jurgen Klopp dropped Loris Karius.

Klopp took the decision to remove the German goalkeeper following a series of error-strewn performances which saw the Reds drop five points in two games.

Karius further stoked the scrutiny from media pundits by hitting out at Sky Sports analyst Gary Neville in an interview with a national newspaper last week.

Neville’s colleague and ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher joined the increasing clamour during last weekend’s 2-2 draw with West Ham.

Mignolet has featured regularly during the Anfield club’s EFL Cup run but last appeared in the Premier League against Chelsea on September 16.
