Liverpool give new injury update after Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota concerns before Chelsea
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Liverpool will be without Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker for the forseeable future.

Klopp said at a press conference on Tueday: «Not great, I would like to say no issues but we have some. Not available: Ali, muscle injury, we don't know how long it will take but definitely not the foreseeable time coming back. Then we have Diogo with a knee issue is ruled out.
