Klopp drops Alisson, Jota, Thiago injury updates ahead of Fulham game

The injury list at Anfield has lengthened a lot in recent weeks, and not much positive news came from the Reds boss on Friday.

Alisson Becker could make his return in the Liverpool line-up in Sunday’s Premier League outing against Fulham.

The Brazilian shot-stopper damaged his hamstring during the 1-1 stalemate against Brighton last month and was forced to miss each of his side’s last three matches.

Academy graduate Caoimhin Kelleher deputized in his absence, with the 22-year-old making the most of the opportunity.

Jurgen Klopp informs that his No.1 will resume full training on Friday and could return to action at Craven Cottage if he passes a fitness test.

“Ali will train today, that’s what I’ve heard. I came in and came directly to the press [conference] so all the meetings are after that and yes, Ali will train and if he trains and all fine, then he can play,” Klopp said in his pre-match press conference.

Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota, James Milner, Xherdan Shaqiri, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kostas Tsimikas, Virgil van Dijk, and Joe Gomez are the other Liverpool players currently also on the treatment table.

Oxlade-Chamberlain is in contention to make his first squad appearance of the season after a long-term knee injury while summer signings Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas would be assessed ahead of the trip.

Klopp added: “We had a game two days ago and after the game, we obviously had some niggles I would say, but [they] can be more, we have to see. The diagnoses are not finally done.

“Kostas we have to see, Diogo we have to see – he got a knock as well. Apart from that, Oxlade is in normal training.”
