Kirkland would play for free

After making only 31 appearances in his three years at Anfield, 15 of them in the Premiership, the young keeper is now out of action with a back injury.

"I know I have had injuries and I know people are frustrated, but I can say that nobody is more frustrated than me," he said. "I'd even play for free if it meant I could stay injury-free.

"If someone said to me that I would have no injuries if I didn't get paid then I'd take it, without a doubt."
