Following injuries they suffered during Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Manchester City, goalkeeper Alisson Becker and forward Diogo Jota will miss time from the field, manager Jurgen Klopp announced on Wednesday.
Alisson, the goalkeeper for Brazil's national team, appeared to have a hamstring injury late in Saturday's game but was able to finish it. He could miss the next five matches.
“Both are out. Ali is a bit lesser, so we have to see. Not day by day — he will not play tomorrow, not on Sunday, probably not the week after. Then it should be kind of OK,” Klopp said ahead of the Europa League visit of LASK on Thursday.
“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.”
