Liverpool boss Klopp admits Alisson still recovering from injury

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Alisson Becker is recovering from an abdominal injury.

The 29-year-old has not played since the 4-0 defeat to Manchester United in Bangkok two weeks ago, but is back in training at their camp in Austria.

Liverpool take on Salzburg as part of their ongoing training camp in Austria ahead of Saturday's FA Community Shield match against Manchester City.

Klopp said, "Obviously Diogo (Jota) is not here, that's clear, but from the boys who are injured - but are here - Ali is the closest - definitely not for Salzburg but then we will see. He is close to getting back, I think."

Boss Klopp revealed that several members of his squad had niggles and they'll have to see who can feature on Wednesday evening.

"This afternoon is an important session as well. In this moment I don't know who can take part in it," the German added.

"We need to have a look and we'll play the game. It's pre-season so we have to get through it and then we have to deal with it."
