The goalkeeper has been out of action since sustaining an ιnjury in the 1-1 draw against Manchester City last month.
On the other hand, Alexis Mac Allister’s availability for the upcoming match against Sheffield United is in doubt due to a knock he picked up in their recent victory. During the pre-match press conference, Klopp provided an update on the players’ conditions. He mentioned that Alisson is looking good but it remаins uncertain if he will be fit for the game. The medical team will assess his progress and make a decision accordingly.
Regarding Mac Allister, Klopp expressed less optimism, stating that the situation doesn’t look promising. While the ιnjury is not severe, the time of the year makes even a short absence significant, potentially affecting around 12 games. Klopp added that they need to evaluate Mac Allister’s condition day by day, but it is unlikely he will be ready for the upcoming match. His availability for subsequent fixtures is also uncertain.
Klopp confirmed that Alisson has returned to training, indicating positive progress in his recovery. The Liverpool manager was also asked about the future of Joel Matip, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament ιnjury in the recent match against Fulham. Klopp expressed confidence that the club will handle the situation appropriately, showing support for the player. He mentioned that discussions will take place with Matip regarding his future once he recovers from the ιnjury. Klopp emphasized the club’s commitment to providing the necessary support to the defender during this challenging time.
