Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson injured ahead of Champions League clash with Atletico

Julien Laurens believes Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool are 'really serious' about adding Timo Werner this summer.

Jurgen Klopp has said that Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson suffered a hip injury in training ahead of their Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid next week.

Liverpool face Atletico at Anfield on Wednesday in the second leg of the round of 16 clash where they trail 1-0.

Klopp said that Alisson has been ruled out for the Premier League match against Bournemouth on Saturday and and is a doubt for Atleti next week.

"Alisson is out," he told a news conference. "He had a little incident before Chelsea then we thought we won't take any risks.

"He is out and we will see, next week for sure. I don't want to say no [for Merseyside derby] but I am not sure.

"We have to judge the situation next week. After the international break he will be 100% but we will see."

The Brazil international picked up a calf injury in the opening league game of the campaign and was out for a month.

Adrian will deputise for Alisson in between the sticks but he made a crucial error as Liverpool were dumped out of the FA Cup against Chelsea on Tuesday.

Klopp also said that club captain Jordan Henderson could return from injury for the Champions League game but will miss out on the Bournemouth match.
