Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet: Having Luis Suarez back is big boost
LIVERPOOL keeper Simon Mignolet professes having Luis Suarez is a big boost for the squad.
The Uruguayan returned from his 10-match biting suspension in the 1-0 Capital One Cup defeat against Manchester United.
Suarez seemed to be a little rusty but nearly scored from a free-kick.
Liverpool have coped well without him after an excellent start to the season, but Mignolet believes his presence has been missed.
"Seeing him come back into the squad is a big boost for us," Mignolet told the Liverpool Echo.
"Everyone knows the quality he has and it is what we need for Liverpool.
"Not only on matchdays but every single day in training. I see it every single day in training when I’m one v one with him and you see what he can do, so he will improve me as a goalkeeper as well.
“We know there’s a lot more to come from him and I’m sure he will score goals and win games for Liverpool again.”
Mignolet returns to the Stadium of Light as Liverpool take on his old club Sunderland on Sunday.
