Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet opens coffee shop in his hometown of Sint-Truiden in Belgium

• Simon Mignolet opens ‘TwentyTwo Coffee’ in hometown of Sint-Truiden
• Mignolet has been relegated to second choice goalkeeper at Liverpool
• Summer signing Loris Karius has been promoted to starting line-up
• Mignolet was on bench duty for Belgium in recent World Cup qualifiers

Flat whites are currently on the agenda for Liverpool Simon Mignolet following his recent flat spell at Anfield.

Mignolet, who has been relegated to second-choice goalkeeper behind summer signing Loris Karius on Merseyside, has opened a coffee shop in his hometown of Sint-Truiden in Belgium.

‘TwentyTwo Coffee’, named in homage to his shirt number at Liverpool, opened for business earlier this week.

‘Personally I do prefer a ‘flat white’, but that is not so well known in Belgium. I invite everyone to try it out here,’ Mignolet told Belgian newspaper HLN.

‘I myself do not serve coffees, but trust the running of the business to my brother Wouter, who will be assisted also by my wife Jasmien.

‘The name of the case, TwentyTwo, is a nod to my shirt number. I hope it gives me the same success next as the game. In the case of football and sports will never be far away.’

The Reds keeper has been away on international duty with Roberto Martinez’s squad over the past fortnight, but has once again had to contend with bench duty.

Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois was between the posts for Belgium during the emphatic wins against Bosnia and Gibraltar as Martinez’s men remain unbeaten at the summit of Group H in their World Cup qualifying campaign.

Jurgen Klopp’s side, who are currently fourth in the Premier League standings, return to action next Monday when they welcome Manchester United to Anfield.

German shot-stopper Karius is set to continue in goal for the Merseysiders with Mignolet once again contending with a spot on the bench.
