Liverpool manager Klopp confirms Alisson looks 'very good'; Keita, Ox updates

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Alisson is looking "very good" in his return from injury.

The Brazilian is expected to return to action by the end of the month after recovering from an injured shoulder.

Klopp is also happy with recovery of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita, who recently tested positive for coronavirus.

"All good, really good," Klopp told the club's website about the trio.

"Naby trained yesterday, so that's very positive. Oxlade is obviously in a long-term rehab, but looks good and is in a good mood usually. Ali looks very good. We have to see; catching balls and stuff like this is all possible. But we cannot rush it and will not rush it.

"Actually, it's a common thing every day when I see Ali, I say: 'How was it today?' He always with a big smile tells me of the slight improvements. Today I didn't see him [yet], so I can't wait to ask for his progress!"

On Keita specifically, Klopp detailed: "We are still learning, we are all learning about these kind of things when a boy is completely without symptoms, which Naby was.

"He looked very good yesterday in training, to be honest. But I don't know how he looks today, how he reacted – that's much more important then. So, we will see.

"In the moment, I would probably rather expect him to be involved but I don't know it."
