With Alisson<\/a> not expected back until after the November international break, Liverpool have called up Kornel Misciur to fill in for him in the Champions League<\/a> squad.<\/p>\n

Liverpool named a 22-man squad for their trip to Eintracht Frankfurt, with Alisson<\/a> a notable absentee as he recovers from a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian is not due to return until after the next international break, leaving Giorgi Mamardashvili<\/a> to fill in against both Chelsea<\/a> and Man United<\/a> so far.<\/p>\n

Mamardashvili will remain first choice and his promotion has seen Freddie Woodman<\/a> take a place on the bench.<\/p>\n

But with three goalkeepers typically required on matchdays due to the risk of late injury, Misciur has also travelled to Frankfurt.<\/p>\n

\"KIRKBY,<\/p>\n

Alongside fellow academy goalkeeper Bailey Hall, he is a List B player and able to be called upon for any of Liverpool\u2019s Champions League<\/a> matches.<\/p>\n

Despite Hall being favoured this season over Misciur, it is the latter who will be with the first team, as Hall instead features for the under-19s in the UEFA Youth League.<\/p>\n

Signed from Hull in 2023, Misciur has proved himself an outstanding shot-stopper and has been a standout among the academy goalkeepers in recent years. <\/p>\n

At 16 years old, was a regular presence around Jurgen Klopp<\/a>\u2018s squad in the 2023\/24 season, but now, at 18 years old, he has been usurped at under-21 level by Hall this campaign. <\/p>\n

Misciur has played zero games for Rob Page\u2019s under-21s this season and has featured just three times for the under-18s.<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

Goalkeepers: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Misciur<\/p>\n

Defenders: Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez, Bradley, Kerkez, Robertson, Frimpong<\/p>\n

Midfielders: Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Mac Allister, Jones, Endo<\/p>\n

Forwards: Salah, Isak, Ekitike, Gakpo, Chiesa, Ngumoha<\/p>\n

It is believed Armin Pecsi<\/a> could have been called up despite taking a spot on List A, thanks to UEFA rules stipulating that in the event of long-term injury or illness \u2013 defined as at least 30 days as of the day it occurred \u2013 any goalkeeper can be temporarily replaced.<\/p>\n

This option has not been pursued, however. Fabian Mrozek, the 22-year-old Pole, could have been another option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Alisson not expected back until after the November international break, Liverpool have called up Kornel Misciur to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244075,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[10535,133816,403,99],"class_list":["post-244074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-champions-league","tag-kornel-misciur","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244074\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
