Liverpool's forgotten man Karius enjoys some beach time in Miami during break

Liverpool outcast Loris Karius has been spotted relaxing shirtless at Miami Beach, Florida during the international break.

The 28-year-old goalkeeper appeared to be extremely popular, even being recognised by a few pretty women in bikinis.

The German was pictured chatting with the two women, before even leaning in for a hug in the sea, as he soaked up the sun during his break from training at Melwood.

The shot-stopper will no doubt have been pleased to take a break from what is proving to be a difficult time in his career - having failed to play all season competitively.

Karius has not played for the Reds in a competitive game since his disastrous performance in the 2018 Champions League final, when he made two mistakes in a 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid in Kiev.

The game was finely poised at 0-0 in the second half when Karius's throw was intercepted by Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema and the ball needed no further touch to send it into the net.

The German then also spilled a long-range effort from substitute Gareth Bale to destroy any hope Liverpool had of winning the prestigious tournament.

In the time since, Karius was sent out on a two-year loan to Besiktas before cancelling his contract early after complaining to FIFA over unpaid wages.

Last season's loan at Union Berlin was not much more fruitful, with Karius playing back up to Andreas Luthe and featuring on just five occasions, before returning to Anfield.

Karius is however out of contract this summer and expected to depart after falling down the pecking order in recent seasons, as he sits behind the likes of Alisson Becker, Caoimhin Kelleher, and Adrian.

The German joined the Reds from FSV Mainz 05 in 2016 for a fee in the region of around £6m, having represented Germany at all levels up to the U21s.

He has made 49 appearances for the Reds, keeping 22 clean sheets.
