On Saturday, Alisson struggled to complete the 1-1 draw against Manchester City after appearing to pick up a hamstring injury late on.
"With Ali (Alisson), it’s a bit lesser, so we have to see – not day by day, he will not play tomorrow, not on Sunday, probably not the week after," the Premier League-winning coach told the press.
Confirming that the Brazilian's injury was not as bad as initially feared, Klopp said, “No, but bad enough. Bad enough.”

"Diogo will take a little bit longer, we don’t know exactly how long, but it’s a bit more severe. We have to see," Klopp said about the Portuguese winger's status.
