Full Liverpool squad for LASK as Jurgen Klopp dealt double injury blow
Liverpool return to action tonight when they take on LASK in the Europa League.
The Reds currently sit at the top of Group E after four games. However, Jurgen Klopp’s side were beaten by Toulouse in France last time out.
Speaking on Wednesday afternoon, Jurgen Klopp has received mixed news on the fitness of Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker, as his injury is not as bad as first feared, but he will keep him out for at least two weeks.
Alisson is likely to miss five matches but should return for the visit of Manchester United on December 17. The Brazil international picked up a hamstring injury during Saturday’s draw with Manchester City at the Etihad. Klopp also revealed that Diogo Jota, who was also injured against City, will be absent for longer.

"Both are out. Ali is a bit lesser, so we have to see,” he said. “Not day by day - he cannot play tomorrow [Thursday] or Sunday.
“Probably not the week after should be kind of OK. Alisson is not as bad [as we thought] but still bad enough. Diogo will take a little bit longer, don't know exactly. Have to see."
Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic, Conor Bradley and Andy Robertson all remain sidelined. And with that in mind, we have taken a look at the squad that will be available to Jurgen Klopp for tonight’s game.
