Simon Mignolet has claimed that their victory against Leeds in the EFL Cup showed the team’s strengths. Jürgen Klopp made a number of changes to the squad that won 2-1 against Sunderland.
Mignolet replaced Loris Karius in goal for Liverpool while Ben Woodburn got his second appearance for the Merseyside club. Mignolet said, “I’m pleased with how we performed and I think we deserved to go to the semis,
“We’ve got a busy January coming up, but we love that.
“Everybody is pushing in training. We’re working hard to make sure we’re ready when there is an injury or a suspension.
“In this period, we’ll need the whole squad and everybody’s shown again that they can step in when needed. That’s very important for the whole club to know.”
The Belgian custodian hadn’t played since Reds 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup last month.
He further added, “It’s not always easy when you know you’re not playing, but you train for yourself to make sure you stay fit and be ready.
“In football things can change very quickly, so you have to stay focused and that’s what I try to do.”
