Dudek considers leaving Liverpool
Dudek's career statistics
Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek says he will look for a new club in the transfer window if he does not regain his place from Jose Reina at Anfield.
The Polish international, 32, said: "I need to play ahead of the World Cup as to miss out would be disastrous.
"I need to speak to Rafa Benitez about my future and maybe look for something in the January window.
"It all depends on him. If he gives me a chance I will take it. I have a lot of desire to fight for my place."
Dudek performed heroics in the 2005 Champions League final penalty shoot-out to help Liverpool beat AC Milan, but has had to make do with being second choice since.
Reds boss Benitez signed Reina from Villarreal for £6m in July, and he has been an ever-present in the Premiership this season.
He will forever be a hero for Istanbul but in all honesty he just isn't quite at the level that we need in a goalkeeper

Dudek has recovered from the arm injury he sustained in the summer and said: "Now I am fit I will do everything to get my place back.
"It is very frustrating when you can't play in front of the Kop having won the Champions League but I have been concentrating so far on getting fit and then fighting for my place.
"It is difficult ahead of the World Cup if you are not playing and especially in my position.
"The national coach has told me that if I do not play for Liverpool then it will be tough for me to play for the national team."
