Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Curtis Jones were spotted clowning goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher as he arrived at the AXA Training Center sporting a new haircut

Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Curtis Jones have been spotted teasing Caoimhin Kelleher's new haircut.

The Irish goalkeeper is enjoying an extended stay between the sticks for the Reds this term due to a hamstring injury Alisson Becker picked up prior to the October international break against Crystal Palace. The 25-year-old has made five appearances in all competitions so far and will be between the sticks when the Reds welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Anfield on Saturday.

However, despite his impressive performances for the Reds deputising in Alisson's place, Kelleher has not been exempt from some light hearted stick from his Liverpool teammates - with Van Dijk and Jones keen to point out his new haircut.

Walking into the Reds AXA Training center, Van Dijk and Jones quickly pointed Kelleher's new trim. "Woohoohoo!" yelled Van Dijk, with the Liverpool skipper adding: "Look how fresh he looks!"

"Look at the trim," agreed Jones, playfully pulling the Reds keeper back with Alexis Mac Allister smiling on in the background.

In midweek, Kelleher found himself back on the bench for the Reds in the Carabao Cup, with Vítězslav Jaroš starting in the Irishman's place. And with Alisson set to be ruled out until after the November international break, Kelleher will likely make three more starts for the Reds against Brighton, Bayer Leverkusen and Aston Villa.

Speaking ahead of the Brighton game, Liverpool boss Arne Slot said: "I think I said it already a few times that it is always difficult to tell you exactly when they are ready because especially the last phase of the recovery can always be a few days extra or less. The fact is that they are not there before the international break and let’s see if they can join us after."

Liverpool.com says: "It's a good job Liverpool managed to keep a hold of Kelleher in the summer, especially given the injury to Alisson this term. However, it looks as though the Irishman will be off next summer with the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia."
