Andy Lonergan made a surprise appearance for Liverpool.
Andy Lonergan was a surprise starter for Liverpool during the Reds’ pre-season friendly against Sevilla.
Lonergan had been drafted in as cover during Liverpool’s pre-season.
First choice stopper Alisson has been at the Copa America, while Kamil Grabara has been loaned to Huddersfield.
This prompted the Reds to reach out to veteran goalkeeper Lonergan, who last played for Rochdale, while on loan from Huddersfield.
The former Wolves, Leeds, Bolton and Fulham stopper is 35.
