Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher have been hit by a major injury setback.
The Liverpool Echo says Kelleher will miss pre-season with a broken wrist as the Reds prepare to assess the fitness of Xherdan Shaqiri.
Kelleher has undergone a small operation on the injury and is expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks.
The timing is a bitter blow for the 20-year-old Irishman, who while yet to make his first-team debut was among the substitutes in the Champions League final win over Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid on June 1.
With Alisson Becker being given an extended break following Brazil's Copa America final against Peru on Sunday, Kelleher would have expected an opportunity to impress Jurgen Klopp during Liverpool 's pre-season friendly programme.
