NewsCaoimhin Kelleher recharging, improving and goalkeeper studying

For the Reds players not participating at the World Cup, the campaign is paused until a Carabao Cup tie at Manchester City on December 22.

Before that return to action, Jürgen Klopp’s available squad will undertake a warm-weather training camp in Dubai that includes friendly fixtures against Olympique Lyonnais and AC Milan.

Kelleher believes the time without competitive action can be used beneficially for the second phase of 2022-23.

“First off it gives us the chance to maybe get a bit of rest in first and to recharge the batteries,” he told Liverpoolfc.com.

“After that, we’ve got a good amount of time to just focus on training and improve stuff that we need to improve.

“Especially in the middle of a season you don’t normally get that time, it’s normally game after game, so it’ll be a good opportunity for us as a group to get some good training sessions in and try to improve.”

The Republic of Ireland international is also taking the opportunity to closely study the qualities of the goalkeepers representing their countries at the World Cup.

“There’ll obviously be some great goalkeepers on show there so it’ll be great to watch them and try to learn some stuff from them while they’re playing,” added Kelleher.
