Jurgen Klopp Provides Injury Updates Ahead of Liverpool's Premier League Clash With Leicester

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Joel Matip and Xherdan Shaqiri will be unavailable for this weekend's Premier League fixture against Leciester, although Alisson Becker is confirmed to have returned to team training.

Alisson suffered a calf injury during Liverpool's opening day victory over Norwich and is closing in on a return to first-team action, but remains a doubt for Saturday.

Matip, meanwhile, missed Liverpool's Champions League win over Salzburg in midweek and will remain sidelined until after the international break, which is also when Shaqiri is expected to return. Nathaniel Clyne is therefore Liverpool's only long-term absentee.
