Liverpool v Newcastle United: Team news

Klopp said during Friday’s pre-match press conference that Alisson ‘looks good and is improving’, although the goalkeeper remains sidelined with the calf issue he suffered last month.

“It was a really serious injury in the calf. It is now much better, of course, and that’s good for us and good for him, but we don’t know exactly [how long it will be],” the manager reported.

“The target was always after the next international break [that] he could be ready, but we don’t know. So, as I said, there is no pressure and hopefully everything will be fine for the rest of the season, that’s the plan.
