\nNEWCASTLE: Eddie Howe believes Loris Karius has a point to prove at Newcastle United, but not for the reasons many believe.<\/p>\n
\nThe Magpies\u2019 head coach has handed the German keeper a fresh start in the Premier League after his controversial, stop-start spell at Liverpool was cut short last summer. The 29-year-old was a free transfer signing after Karl Darlow picked up an injury and the club\u2019s coaching staff wanted to improve on third choice Mark Gillespie.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s a move that has raised eyebrows, especially given the high-profile errors that go hand-in-hand with Karius\u2019 name. The new United signing was, of course, to blame for two goals in Liverpool\u2019s 2018 Champions League final loss to Real Madrid, a game which has haunted the player\u2019s career ever since.<\/p>\n
\nHowever, while Howe believes the player arrives on Tyneside with something to prove, it is not because of that night in Kyiv four years ago.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI think there has been a period where he hasn\u2019t had that day-to-day contact with a team,\u201d he said of Karius, who is expected to be on the bench for tomorrow\u2019s visit of AFC Bournemouth to St. James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI think he\u2019s improved and got better with every training session we\u2019ve had. Certainly, he\u2019s been really good with the team.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou don\u2019t want to bring someone in who doesn\u2019t want to play and who can\u2019t play. He can do both. He\u2019s pushing and trained very well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhen asked about Karius\u2019 Champions League final errors, Howe said: \u201cI haven\u2019t really gone into any depth into his career with him yet, he\u2019s only been here minimal time. But every player that comes in has a point to prove, depending how you look at it.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe certainly want to help him get to the best levels he\u2019s capable of. From what I\u2019ve seen in training I\u2019ve been very impressed by him, not just his performances but his conduct and how he\u2019s carried himself. He\u2019s fitting into a group that has a really good feel about them, so he\u2019s fitted into that really well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe Karius move only materialized when usual stand-in keeper Darlow suffered an ankle injury, which looks set to keep him out of action for the next two months.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s understood, having let Martin Dubravka go to Manchester United on loan, the club were unconvinced Gillespie could provide adequate cover for in-form No. 1 Nick Pope, and so they went for Karius.<\/p>\n
\nHowe said: \u201cThe injury to Darlow was strange how he picked it up. He was just doing goalkeeping training with two or three goalkeepers and twisted his ankle from a normal shot action.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWith that news, and our 25-man squad still being open at that stage, we decided it was wise to move for someone with experience who could complement the goalkeepers we have, and Loris was the outstanding candidate when we looked at the goalkeepers available, which was quite a small pool.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHe\u2019s a really good age and had some incredible experiences in his career. He\u2019s trained very well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMeanwhile, Howe is keeping his cards close to his chest in relation to whether key trio Bruno Guimaraes, Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson will return to the fold for the clash with the Cherries.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cEveryone has improved but I\u2019ll leave my team news until the time when we get it. It\u2019s been a difficult period for us but hopefully we\u2019re coming out of that. They\u2019re big players for us, we need them back quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s understood that of the trio, Brazilian Guimaraes is the closest to a return before the Premier League closes down for next week\u2019s international break.<\/p>\n
