Mignolet wrote on 'Some Say bench warming, I say bench pressing!''

It appears to be a possible dig to the term of bench warming as it seems that Mignolet isn't to happy at being benched.

The former Sunderland stopper bench presses, lifts dumbbells and does chin ups to show of his strength and fitness.

Mignolet wont be going down easy in the fight to be Anfield's No1 keeper and will keep going to get back in to Jurgen Klopp's plans.

Karius looks a little suspect from corners and came out flapping for a cross against Manchester United on Monday night.

Liverpool host Tottenham in the EFL cup next week and Mignolet will want to be given the chance to reclaim a spot for last years finalists.

However with no European football this season for Liverpool Klopp will be taking the cup competitions seriously and could choose to stick with Karius to give him more experience.
