Jurgen Klopp reveals goalkeeper Alisson Becker will miss Liverpool's pre-season friendly with Red Bull Salzburg, as the Brazilian edges closer to a return from his abdominal injury

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is closing in on a return to action following his abdominal injury, but Wednesday's pre-season game against Red Bull Salzburg comes too soon for the Brazilian, manager Jurgen Klopp said on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old has not played since Liverpool's 4-0 defeat by Manchester United in Thailand earlier this month but is back in training at their camp in Austria.

Portuguese forward Diogo Jota has already been ruled out of Liverpool's Community Shield clash with Premier League champions Manchester City on July 30 due to a muscle injury, but Klopp was more optimistic about Alisson.
