Liverpool's Alisson, Jota to miss Community Shield game - Klopp

Manager Juergen Klopp announced that Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson and forward Diogo Jota would not be participating in their Community Shield match against Manchester City. They are still recovering from injuries.

Jota was injured in the thigh during a preseason training session. Klopp didn't give a date for his return, but Alisson, who sustained an abdominal injury, will be back in time for the Premier League season's first round.

Alisson trained today more than any other day. He will be available for Fulham (on August 6), but not for the weekend. Klopp said that Diogo, it would take a while, unfortunately. Klopp spoke to reporters before Saturday's match at King Power Stadium.

Klopp also confirmed Roberto Firmino's inclusion in his plans. The Brazilian forward has entered the last year of his contract and is attracting the attention of European clubs.

"Bobby's the heart and soul of our team. Klopp stated that he is the reason he has been able to train with us so far. "I have no doubt about his ability. He is essential to us."

Klopp stated that he was sad to see Sadio mane leave Bayern Munich, but was happy the Senegalese forward had made his intentions clear early on, which allowed Liverpool's search for a replacement. Darwin Nunez joined the club last month.

Sadio, who was a player in the fixed lineup for six years, was lost. He said he wanted a challenge, Klopp stated.He informed us early enough, and we accepted it. We had plenty of time to prepare for that, so that's exactly what we did at jfdbet best football betting sites malaysia.

Liverpool lost the league title last season to City by one point. Klopp responded that the Community Shield trophy was very important and that they would consider it.

It's very significant, it's our last domestic cup competition so we'll give this a try, said the German manager.If you win it, it's an important competition. He smiled and said that losing makes it less important.
