Liverpool signed Danny Ward in January 2012 and sold him to Leicester City in the summer of 2018.
The goalkeeper could make only three appearances for Liverpool before the Reds’ sporting director Michael Edwards decided that there was no point in keeping him at the club.
Liverpool signed Alisson that summer which saw Ward become the fourth-choice goalkeeper at the Merseyside club.
Leicester signed the Wales international goalkeeper from Premier League rivals Liverpool for £12.5 million in 2018, as reported by BBC Sport at the time.
The 28-year-old has been at the Foxes for over three years now, but he has yet to make an appearance in the Premier League for them.
And tonight’s mistake while playing for Wales against the Czech Republic will not help his chances of getting ahead of Kasper Schmeichel.
Aaron Ramsey’s back-pass was simple enough, but as you can see below, the former Liverpool goalkeeper could not control it.
Now, of course, everyone makes mistakes, even goalkeepers.
It happens.
Mistakes are part and parcel of the game.
However, Ward’s mistake tonight was really bad.
It was a proper howler, and shows that Edwards was right in cashing in on him when he did.
The 2022 World Cup qualifier ended in a 2-2 draw.
Ward is an experienced goalkeeper and has been brilliant for Wales even though he is limited in his game-time at club level.
The 28-year-old Leicester goalkeeper will bounce back.
