Merseyside derby injury forces Liverpool to debut third goalkeeper 🧤
Apr 19 2026 15:10 · By onefootball.com · 21 Reads
Following Everton's equalizer after the break on Sunday, Liverpool's bad luck has doubled.
Second-choice goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili was stretchered off after suffering an injury during a collision for Beto's tying goal.
Such a scene has forced the Reds into a unique substitution.
Freddie Woodman, who has never played in the Premier League for Liverpool before, is now between the sticks.

What a moment this is for the 29-year-old, regardless of how this result turns out at full-time.
With Alisson already injured and Mamardashvili's injury appearing serious, manager Arne Slot will hope the debutant can find his confidence. He may play for the remainder of the campaign.
