Liverpool goalkeeper Armin Pecsi has not played at any level for the Reds since September, despite having arrived in the summer with high praise from those who have worked with him. While he has played for Hungary U21s, Pecsi hasn’t featured at any level for Liverpool since September 27 for the under-21s at Ipswich.

Including that 3-2 defeat at Ipswich U21s, the Hungarian has played just five times for Rob Page’s under-21s. Liverpool’s Brazilian has now missed six weeks with his latest hamstring injury, but he is set to return after the international break.

“It’s competition for places and that’s what you want. You can’t have players just taking for granted that they’re going to get the jersey.” Misciur has previously been considered the brightest upcoming goalkeeping talent at Liverpool, but he has played just six times this season.
