Alisson will miss Manchester City match, Diago Jota for community shield

Liverpool goalkeeper Alison Becker will miss the Community Shield against Manchester City this weekend, but in time for the start of the Premier League season, manager Jurgen Klopp said Thursday.


Allison suffers from unspecified injuries and hasn't played since losing to Manchester United 4-0 in a pre-season friendly on July 12.

Brazilians have returned to international training but will not be at risk against the city at King Power Stadium in Leicester due to the annual match between the Premier League champions and FA Cup winners last season. ..

"Ali has had more training today than the day before, so he'll definitely be in Fulham," Klopp said of Liverpool's first opponent in the Premier League on August 6.

Diogo Jota may miss the start of the season.

The Portuguese forward suffered a hamstring injury and was not on the Liverpool team for a training camp in Austria this week.

"Diego isn't with us, so how can we play soccer?" Klopp said. "Unfortunately, it will take some time."

This year's season started earlier than usual, so Klopp said he didn't have enough time to do everything he wanted in the preseason.


Liverpool, who lost 1-0 to Salzburg on Wednesday, are scheduled for a friendly match against Strasbourg on Sunday, the day after the Community Shield.

Klopp said:

Liverpool are aiming to win the Community Shield for the first time under Klopp, one point ahead of Citi in the Premier League last season.

"It's very important," he said. "We have played this" final "several times and we hope you win it. This is the last domestic cup tournament that hasn't won yet, so let's try it. "
