Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Alisson Becker sustained a calf injury during Friday's win over Norwich that is likely to keep him out 'for the next few weeks'.

But the Liverpool boss refused to put a more specific timescale on the Brazilian's return, insisting it is too early to offer an accurate prognosis.

“[It’s] not too cool. It’s a calf injury which takes him obviously out for a while,” Klopp told Liverpool's official website.

“I don’t want to make now [an] exact prognosis on when he will be back but it will not be tomorrow for sure, so now then we have to see.

"It takes a while, it takes a couple weeks for sure, and we have to see.

“I saw already like ‘six weeks’ and stuff like this, but Ali was not a lot injured in his career so I would like to wait a little bit to see how he develops in that process now, but he is not in for the next few weeks.”

Alisson was replaced by Adrian after injuring his calf while taking a goal kick during the 4-1 victory over Daniel Farke's men.
