Mamardashvili faces reported Tottenham test at Liverpool
The Georgian goalkeeper is expected to start against Tottenham in an opportunity to improve his standing behind Alisson at Liverpool.
Giorgi Mamardashvili is reportedly set to start for Liverpool against Tottenham on Tuesday evening, in what Yahoo Sports describes as a significant opportunity for the 25-year-old goalkeeper.
Alisson remains Liverpool’s reported first-choice goalkeeper, leaving Mamardashvili competing for a secondary role after a difficult first season at the club. The Georgian made 20 appearances in all competitions last season and conceded 34 goals, according to the report.
Mamardashvili was signed in part for his shot-stopping, but the report says his performances and distribution have drawn dissatisfaction from Liverpool supporters. It also says his form has been viewed less favourably since joining a side that does not face many shots.
The goalkeeper was linked with a departure towards the end of the summer, but Liverpool reportedly decided to retain him. His selection against Tottenham could therefore provide an important test of whether he can strengthen his position within the squad.
The report frames the match as a possible turning point, although neither the starting role nor the longer-term consequences for Mamardashvili’s Liverpool career are independently confirmed in the supplied material.
