Klopp: Alisson Nearing Liverpool Comeback

By Daily Sports on August 31, 2019

Alisson Becker has “made steps” towards recovering from a calf injury, but Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said he will not rush the goalkeeper back into the fold.

The Brazil international, who sustained the problem during the first half of the 4-1 victory over Norwich City at Anfield on Aug. 9, was expected to be out for around six weeks, with half that timeframe having now elapsed.

After Liverpool’s trip to Burnley on Saturday, there is a 14-day gap owing to an international break before they host Newcastle United on Sept. 14. There is no desire from the club to escalate Alisson’s rehabilitation during this period, despite the failure of the European champions to keep a clean sheet so far this season.

“He has made steps of course, but it was a proper injury, so it will still take time,” Klopp said during a media briefing at Melwood on Thursday.

“How it always is with professional sportsmen, when you have a muscle thing and it takes long, then it takes a while as well until you can bring the muscle to at least the same level it was before.

“A calf muscle is pretty important for jumping – and for a goalie, it is quite important that you can jump from time-to-time, so it will take time.”

Klopp said that being without Alisson, named the 2018-19 Champions League Goalkeeper of the Season by UEFA on Wednesday night, has been a sizeable setback for Liverpool. (ESPN)
