Liverpool’s Alisson, Jota Face Injury Spells

Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson Becker and forward Diogo Jota are facing spells on the sidelines after sustaining injuries during Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at Manchester City.

The team manager Jurgen Klopp, said this on Wednesday ahead of the club’s Europa League match against LASK on Thursday.

Brazil international goalkeeper Alisson, who could miss the next five matches, appeared to sustain a hamstring problem late in Saturday’s match but managed to complete the game.

Klopp said, “Both are out. Ali is a bit lesser, so we have to see. He will not play tomorrow, not on Sunday, probably not the week after. Then it should be kind of OK.

“Diogo will take a little bit longer. We don’t know exactly how long, but it’s a bit more severe. We have to see.

“Alisson is not as bad (as we thought), but still bad enough.”
