Liverpool will reportedly not recall Loris Karius from his loan spell at Besiktasafter first-choice Alisson Becker picked up an injury against Norwich City.
It has been claimed that the Brazilian will spend at least six weeks on the sidelines after picking up a calf injury whilst taking a goal kick during the 4-1 win over the Canaries on Friday night.
There has been subsequent talk of Liverpool recalling Karius, who is in the latter half of a two-year loan spell in Turkey, in order to accomodate for Alisson’s absence.
However, according to Liverpool Echo, this move will not happen because there is no get out clause in Karius’ contract with the Turkish side.
Moreover, Besiktas are obligated to buy Karius for a further £7.25million, on top of the initial £2.25million loan fee, in 2020 if Karius meets particular performance criteria.
Karius has not played a game for Liverpool since suffering one of the worst individual performances ever seen in a Champions League final against Real Madrid in 2018.
