'It was nearly three weeks... it feels like we had 15 games!': Jurgen Klopp relieved by Alisson Becker's rapid recovery from a shoulder injury as the keeper returns for Liverpool's gritty win over Sheffield United

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed his relief with goalkeeper Alisson Becker's speedy recovery from injury.

The Brazilian stopper sustained a shoulder injury and initial fears were that he would need up to six weeks to recover, but he declared himself fit to return in the Reds 2-1 victory over Sheffield United.

Alisson missed three matches with second-choice Adrian stepping into the spotlight in his absence, but Klopp said having the 28-year-old back was a big boost for the Premier League champions.
