But Slot always maintained that Alisson was his No.1 and that he would regain his place once he was back to full fitness.

And after the hard-fought success over Girona, the Liverpool head coach called the 32-year-oid the best goalkeeper in the world.

With the Reds already committed to the signing of Valencia and Georgia keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili next summer for a fee of £30m, it remains to be seen just what the future holds for the highly-regarded Kelleher at Anfield.

The Republic of Ireland international has been subject to interest from the likes of Nottingham Forest and Brentford in the past.

He had one mistake at Newcastle but he has been absolutely phenomenal.

"He can do no more to get in that team and the manager puts Alisson back in and after the game backs it up with 'he's best goalkeeper in the world'.

“And let's hope he can keep continuing to bring these performances.
