Alisson Becker and Naby Keita will both miss the clash, however, Klopp has no fresh injuries to contend with following the international break.
Speaking before the game, Liverpool’s manager updated Koppites on Allison’s injury.
“It was a really serious injury in the calf. It is now much better, of course, and that’s good for us and good for him, but we don’t know exactly [how long it will be],” the manager reported.
“The target was always after the next international break [that] he could be ready, but we don’t know. So, as I said, there is no pressure and hopefully, everything will be fine for the rest of the season, that’s the plan.”
