Europa League: Klopp confirms double injury blow ahead LASK clash

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has revealed that both Alisson and Diogo Jota will miss their Europa League clash with LASK on Thursday.

The Reds host the Austrian side in their penultimate Europa League clash.

But they will be without first-choice goalkeeper Alisson, who was injured in the closing stages of the 1-1 draw against Manchester City.

“Both are out. Ali is a bit lesser, so we have to see.

“Not day by day he cannot play tomorrow or Sunday, probably not the week after, should be kind of okay.

“Diogo will take a little bit longer, don’t know exactly, but it’s a bit more severe. Have to see,” Klopp said.

Caoimhin Kelleher is expected to start in place of Alisson in goal, having started five games so far this season.

The Brazilian stopper is set to miss league games against Fulham, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace.
