Simon Mignolet
Premier League Mignolet to fight for starting role

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet told Belgian media during the international break that he will continue to battle for the starting goalkeeper position under manager Jurgen Klopp.

The 28-year-old ruled out leaving the club in the near future despite not starting since Week 5 against Chelsea with summer signing Loris Karius currently the top choice at the club, while he is also the No. 2 with the Belgian team behind Thibaut Courtois.

"I've never been on the bench in my career," Mignolet said this week. "I don't want that and I won't accept it either. I will keep fighting to return as the first-choice goalkeeper. It's not right (to suggest leaving Liverpool) – that's for the future. I am fully focused on Liverpool."
