Jurgen Klopp Revealed Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota injury update and return date
Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota are both expected to miss time with injuries, according to Jürgen Klopp.
During the 1-1 Premier League match against Manchester City last weekend, Alisson and Jota both experienced problems.
During his pre-LASK press conference today, the manager was asked about the two and responded that neither is available for Thursday’s game or later.
Klopp declared, “Both are out.” “With Ali, it’s a little less, so we’ll have to wait and see. He won’t play tomorrow, Sunday, or most likely the next week. Then, things ought to be alright.
“Diogo will take a little longer—how long exactly is unknown—but it will be a little more severe. We must observe.
Regarding if the injury to Alisson in particular is not as serious as first thought, Klopp said, “No, but bad enough.” Not good enough.

‘Fabrizio Romano hints at Liverpool boost amid links with ‘one of the best DMs’ around
Liverpool are one of the many clubs that have been linked with Gabriel Moscardo ahead of the January transfer window.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on CaughtOffside that could bode well for the Reds if they decide to step up their interest.
Early in November, TEAMtalk reported that Liverpool were among the clubs ‘interested in completing a deal’ for Moscardo.
Chelsea have also been heavily linked with the Corinthians prodigy.
Indeed, speculation has recently been doing the rounds suggesting the Blues had agreed a deal with Moscardo’s club.
‘Expected to become a record sale’
However, Romano insists this is not the case, stressing that the race is open. Indeed, he believes the Blues will not bid for him.
At the same time, the transfer insider does say that Moscardo is expected to move in January.
“In the last 24 hours we’ve had reports from Brazil that an agreement is done between Chelsea and Corinthians on a €25million package,” Romano said.
“There is no agreement between Chelsea and Corinthians on Moscardo – it is not a done deal.
“Moscardo is a player Chelsea appreciate, but it is not correct to say that it is a done deal at this stage.
“Still, this will be one to watch for sure as Moscardo is expected to become a record sale for Corinthians this January.
“The expectation is for him to move, but although Chelsea like the player and tried to sign him before, my understanding is that this is not a done deal as things stand.
“One thing we can say now is that PSG will open talks to sign Gabriel Moscardo – they will speak to both Corinthians and the player’s agents.
“There are no further details yet, so let’s see what happens, the race is still open even if it currently looks like Chelsea are not going to bid for him.”
Boost for Liverpool as Chelsea not so far ahead for Moscardo – TBR View
This is good news as far as Liverpool are concerned over Moscardo. He’s a top talent who’s likely to have many suitors.
Therefore, knowing that a big Premier League rival isn’t likely to push too hard to sign him means the Reds stand more of a chance of signing him.
As per journalist Ben Mattinson, Moscardo is “one of the best DM prospects in world football”.
Meanwhile, Football Talent Scout described Moscardo as “the future of Brazil’s midfield”.
With Liverpool needing to bolster their midfield ranks, he’s definitely worth a shout for the Anfield outfit.
