Alisson strained his hamstring in the closing stages of Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Manchester City and now has to stay out of the pitch for a while.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said of Alisson's injury in recent days: "We'll have to wait and see, he's not on the daily watch list, he won't be available tomorrow or Sunday, maybe not next week, but he should be fine. ”
Jurgen Klopp added that Alisson's problems were not as serious as they had initially feared, but "already bad" as the team had to prepare for Alisson's brief absence.
That means Kelleher will fill the void on Alisson, and the first thing he will face is Thursday's Europa League clash with Linz – which he will start anyway – and then the Premier League game ahead.
However, Jota's hamstring injury is more serious. Klopp said: 'Jota may take a little longer, I don't know exactly how long it will take, so we have to keep watching. ”
Despite Alisson's temporary unavailability, Klopp is confident in Ireland goalkeeper Kelleher's performance and believes the 25-year-old will be able to reach his full potential.
Klopp said: 'Kelleher got the opportunity he deserved, he was supposed to play on Thursday but now he's got a lot of opportunities and he can reach his full potential. ”
