With Dubravka suffering a shoulder injury and Pope suffering another serious injury, Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is considering a third-choice goalkeeper for the crucial Champions League clash against AC Milan.
Five years ago, Karius played for Liverpool in the Champions League final against Real Madrid, but two consecutive low-level mistakes in the game ruined the Reds' dream of winning the title, and Karius left Liverpool that summer and has been in a state of collapse ever since.
In this round of the Champions League group stage, Newcastle United must defeat the last opponent, AC Milan, if they want to advance, and also expect Paris Saint-Germain to not get points from Borussia Dortmund in order to advance to the last 16 of the Champions League. If they lose, the team will be eliminated outright.
Speaking about Karius' appearance, Eddie Howe said: "Dubravka's injury is not yet known, all our goalkeepers are top goalkeepers and I will watch in training and I think everyone is capable of doing it first. But goalkeeper is not a position I want to rotate into, I want to have a consistent goalkeeper and four defenders to make up the defensive structure I want. ”
