Simon Mignolet has warned Jurgen Klopp that he is not content __with sitting on the Liverpool bench.
Mignolet has been first-choice goalkeeper at Anfield since joining the club in summer 2013, but has lost his place to new signing Loris Karius.
Klopp informed Mignolet that he was back-up to Karius, who joined from Mainz for little over £4million in May.
The Belgian is not happy __with the arrangement however, but says that he will fight for his place – for now.
“I don’t want to be a No 2, that’s clear. I want to play,” he said.
“I am not in a situation where I can sit on the bench. I am 28 years old and want to play week-in, week-out.
“I’ll work hard and never give up. I see it as a challenge I can overcome. So hopefully it will be a fair challenge based on performances put in on the pitch.”
When asked whether he would have to keep showing his worth, he replied: “Yes, exactly, and I don’t want that to take long.
“The only thing I can do is play my best and keep my head down like I’ve always done. Then nobody can say I’ve let myself down.
“I will keep fighting to get my place back. I will never give up because that’s not in my character.
“I can only do my job to the best of my ability. I was happy with my performance against Tottenham. We are in the next round and a good chance to play again.”
