Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker will be out for at least two weeks with a hamstring injury, manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed on Wednesday.
Alisson injured his hamstring in the final minutes of Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Saturday.

Speaking ahead of the Europa League clash against LASK on Thursday, Klopp gave an update on the Brazil international.
“We’ve got to see, not day by day, he probably won’t play [Thursday], not Sunday, probably not next week. So he deserves to be pretty good,” Klopp said.
That schedule will most likely see the Liverpool number one miss Premier League fixtures against Fulham, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace. Klopp hopes Alisson will be compatible in time for his match against Manchester United at Anfield on December 17.
Liverpool are also hoping to have striker Diogo Jota, who has been suffering from a muscle injury for several weeks.
“Diogo will take a little longer, we don’t know exactly how long, but it’s a little more serious. We have to see,” Klopp said.
Alisson and Jota join fullback Andy Robertson and midfielders Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic on Liverpool’s injury list.
A win or draw in Thursday’s Europa League match against LASK at Anfield would confirm Liverpool’s position in the round of 16 competition.
