Liverpool boss Klopp reveals Alisson 'really close'

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Alisson is "really close" to returning to action.

Alisson suffered a calf injury on the opening day of the season in the Reds' win over Norwich.

Since then summer signing Adrian has played between the sticks for Liverpool, but Alisson is nearing a return and could be back in training on Sunday.

Klopp said: "Alisson looks like he is close, but the final word is with the medical department.

"He's not in contention for tomorrow. Maybe he can train with the team from Sunday on. Really close."

Klopp added: "Adrian has done a brilliant job and that's made everything easier 100 per cent. It's important with injuries that you do not rush it."
