Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Liverpool will not have the services of duo Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota due to injury.
Unhappy news for Liverpool fans. Coach Jurgen Klopp confirmed that star duo Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota will sit out due to more serious injuries than expected. Jota left the field early in the match against Man City. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Alisson has muscle problems.
The absence of the above two faces promises to pose a headache for Klopp. Liverpool is preparing to enter a period of fierce competition in December, Christmas and the beginning of the new year. The Kop has 3 difficult tests when facing Man United, Arsenal and Newcastle United.Speaking at the press conference before the match against LASK in the Europa League, Klopp said: “Both have to sit out. Alisson’s situation is quite poor so we have to wait and see. Everything will be fine.”
“Diogo’s condition is a bit more serious. It will take him longer to recover. I don’t know exactly yet. We have to wait and see the situation. In the context of a tight schedule, we need players. The player is always ready.”
According to Metro, Alisson will be absent from 3 matches against Fulham, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace. Fans hope the Brazilian star can recover when Liverpool faces Man United at Anfield. Meanwhile, Jota may have to sit out until early 2024.
