Lack of keeper depth true weak point

-

ENGLISH clubs have good strength in depth for outfield positions. But long-term injury to Allison, David de Gea, Ederson or Hugo Lloris could be a problem for their Champions League aspiration­s. It’s tough to have two world-class goalkeeper­s at a club, which means there is a significan­t drop in quality if the top man gets injured. It’s an achilles heel but hard to see what Jurgen Klopp, Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola or Mauricio Pochettino can do.
