Jurgen Klopp shares big injury update on Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker

Jurgen Klopp shares big injury update on Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker

Liverpool are back in action this weekend in the Premier League after a brief hiatus due to international break.

The Reds will face Brighton at Anfield on Sunday.

Before the international break, Liverpool lost their FA Cup game against Manchester United, but now they have to focus on winning every game from here on in the league as the title race approaches its climax.

Liverpool have been plagued with injury problems throughout the season and the misery doesn’t seem to end as Andy Robertson has now picked up an injury while playing for Scotland.

Jurgen Klopp will be hoping to get back some of his key players from injuries as we enter the business end of the season. The Times have claimed that Curtis Jones could be involved in Sunday’s game, while it won’t be long before other players join him in the first team.

Footage is doing the rounds, shared by Anfield Edition, where a Liverpool fan Liam Whittle is seen having a conversation with Jurgen Klopp in the AXA training centre. He asked him about Alisson’s injury update, and Klopp has confirmed that the Brazilian should return within the next two to three weeks.

A Liverpool fan, @LiamWhittle5, managed to speak to Jurgen Klopp at the AXA Training Centre today, and has revealed that Alisson is about “2 1/2 – 3 weeks” away from returning 🧤

Liverpool injury list
Despite missing the 31-year-old goalkeeper for so long, Liverpool didn’t really miss him. Caoimhin Kelleher, the second-choice goalkeeper, has been tremendous for the Reds, and he has done a massive job for the club.

Kelleher once again will be in goal when the Reds face Brighton this week.

Ryan Gravenberch came back to the side before the break, but the Reds are still missing several key players. Trent Alexander-Arnold is still some weeks away from returning to the side, while the same can be said about Diogo Jota.

Liverpool fans will be relieved to find that Jones is almost ready to play again while Alisson shouldn’t be far away from returning to full training.

Jack Grealish’s Man City form: Winger remains too passive in possession for Pep Guardiola’s side and has to improve
Manchester City’s comeback against Borussia Dortmund came after Jack Grealish had been substituted and questions remain about how he fits into this Pep Guardiola team
By Adam Bate, Comment and Analysis @ghostgoal

Jack Grealish struggled during Manchester City’s game against Borussia Dortmund
There was a point during the first half of Manchester City’s win over Borussia Dortmund when the space that the home side had been seeking for much of the evening had presented itself at long last. This was the moment they had been playing for.

Having finally manoeuvred the ball into the feet of Erling Haaland, the forward turned sharply and fizzed a pass out to Jack Grealish in the left channel. The winger was now free because of Haaland’s habit of drawing defenders towards him.

Unfortunately, one touch became two and the space was shut down. City settled for a corner. In the end, it was barely a half chance. Grealish had not exactly messed up the opportunity but there was a sense that he had failed to maximise it.

Pep Guardiola compared Erling Haaland to Johan Cruyff after his winner against Dortmund
The same might be said of his Manchester City career so far. A Premier League title winner in his first season, Grealish is World Cup-bound in his second. City are favourites to retain their domestic crown and to add that European one at long last. Questions remain.

His own contribution continues to feel a little underwhelming and the statistics never seem to do his reputation any favours. He is yet to score this season. If it feels early to consider that a valid criticism, do note that nine City players have managed to do so.

Grealish’s total of three league goals in 28 appearances last season was one fewer than central defender Aymeric Laporte and only more than Ferran Torres – a player who had made his final Premier League appearance for the club by this time last year.

Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus have moved on – 30 goals in all competitions between them last season – and though Haaland should cover that on his own there is still an expectation that Grealish shows improvement in his second season as a City player.

The £100m fee is not his fault but the competition is his problem. He has been fine. But when trying to follow Sterling and with Phil Foden waiting his turn on the bench, fine is not going to be good enough to play when it matters in Pep Guardiola’s City side.

Foden provided more evidence of that with the urgency of his cameo against Dortmund. Suddenly there was an energy in the team as he drove at the defence with purpose. City were behind and chasing the game at that point but the difference was still stark.

“We had a lot of problems to get our rhythm,” Guardiola explained. “We were so passive in our transition, our movements to be aggressive. We struggled. We were playing in the wrong gear.” That only changed once Foden, Julian Alvarez and Bernardo Silva came on.

“The dynamic of Phil and Bernardo and Julian did us good and gave us another rhythm. This is who we are.” He was not aiming those comments specifically at Grealish but there are times when the winger comes to embody City at their slowest tempo.

Grealish keeps the ball well. But it is all so safe. Often it can appear as though his chief role is to hug the touchline, making the pitch as wide as possible so that Joao Cancelo can find an extra yard of space in that channel from which he is able to do so much damage.

Guardiola alluded to this last season when discussing Grealish. “Sometimes maybe he has to be a more aggressive guy,” he said. “But the decision-making, to take an extra pass, it is not wrong. It is good. He creates space for the guy who got the ball from him.”

There is joy to be had in creating space for Cancelo. After Grealish went off, it was his outside-of-the-boot assist for Haaland’s winner. It is a little ironic that Guardiola suggested afterwards that Cancelo is inclined to try to do too much with the ball.

“Every ball he has, he has to make this kind of actions. I know he can do it. He does it a lot. But you cannot force it. Sometimes he does it quite often. But he is still young.” So, Cancelo tends to try that final pass too much and Grealish does not try it often enough.

Guardiola no doubt admires that ability to retain the ball in tight areas. Sometimes it can seem as if Grealish will only surrender possession at a time of his choosing – whether that is a cross, a shot or a tumble that buys a free-kick. Otherwise, he could keep it forever.

But there is still an onus on him to do more with the ball than he is doing. Look at the positions in which he received it against Dortmund. These were areas of the pitch where a world-class player might be expected to hurt the opposition far more than he did.

Grealish did not complete a single dribble.

His off-the-ball running is never likely to match Sterling and Jesus, whose runs in behind were so important for City. Their wastefulness was often criticised but the chances kept coming. Grealish is a different type of player. He must make his impact with the ball.

The assumption when he arrived from Aston Villa was that he would revel in a possession team because he would see much more of it. That has not proven to be the case. In fact, Grealish had more touches of the ball per 90 minutes at Villa than he does at City.

This is a limited version of the story so unfortunately this content is not available.

He was among those surprised by that.

“I have found it a lot more difficult than I thought I would,” he said himself last season. “At first I thought I would have more of the ball, get more assists and goals but it doesn’t work like that at all. I have had nowhere near as much of the ball as I used to get at Villa.”

He does have the ball in the opposition penalty box more often now. But that only makes it more alarming that his goals and assists are down. In part, that is as a result of poor finishing by him and others – his expected goals and assists figures are actually higher.

Against Dortmund, he had three shots. As many as Haaland on the night. All of them were blocked. It sums up what we have seen from him so far. Unlucky? Perhaps. But the sympathy will soon run out unless he can do more when the moments come his way.

“Women must accept me as part of the sisterhood, I’m a woman” – Bobrisky says

Nigerian star Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, often known as Bobrisky, has declared herself a woman, claiming that women have no choice but to accept her as a member of the sisterhood.

This declaration appears in a new post with the caption: “Women have no choice. They have to accept me as part of the sisterhood. “I’m a woman.”

The declaration comes after Bobrisky won the prize for best dressed female.

Many Nollywood stars and worried Nigerians have weighed in on the unexpected event of receiving the prize despite not being biologically female.

In response to the criticism that followed the prise, Bobrisky issued a new statement emphasising that he deserves respect from women and everyone else and should not be criticised simply because she identifies as a woman.

He went on to say that women should accept her as a member of the sisterhood because she identifies as female.

England v Belgium – International Friendly

Manchester City ace John Stones is now ‘worried’ that he’ll be missing for this weekend’s crunch Premier League clash against Arsenal. The England international hobbled off the Wembley pitch on Tuesday night, as Pep Guardiola’s injury list ahead of Sunday’s match continues to grow.

The clock hadn’t even reached the 10-minute mark by the time Stones had indicated his intention to be subbed off during England’s 2-2 draw with Belgium. A devastating blow for Stones, whose season has been disrupted by several injury problems throughout, and now, it looks as if he could be absent for City’s biggest Premier League game of the season so far against Arsenal.

According to a report by The Daily Star, Stones has returned to Manchester to undergo scans on his groin and is ‘worried’ that he won’t be fit in time to play against the Gunners – a game which could make or break City’s title defence. Mikel Arteta’s men enter the weekend’s action top of the table and a victory for Arsenal in East Manchester could kill City’s hopes of securing a fourth consecutive Premier League title.

When asked after the Belgium stalemate, Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate admitted he was unsure how serious the injury problem for Stones was. He said: “No [it wasn’t a risk to play him]. The first game [against Brazil] for him wasn’t a game that was a high level in terms of intensity… But of course, we’re disappointed if he’s got a problem. It’s in the adductor area. He came in on the back of not having played for two weeks so it wasn’t an overload issue. But I hate sending players back to their clubs if they’re not fully fit.”

The Stones situation is yet another injury problem for Guardiola to contend with after numerous first-team players picked up knocks while away on international duty. Matheus Nunes was missing for Portugal’s friendly against Slovenia because of a foot problem, while Manuel Akanji pulled out of the Switzerland squad because of a fitness concern, with Kyle Walker having also gone home from England duty early.

Manchester City v Newcastle United – Emirates FA Cup Quarter Final

It isn’t all bad news for Guardiola though, with both Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish expected to be available for the Blues. De Bruyne withdrew from Belgium’s squad for the recent March internationals after manager Domenico Tedesco confirmed he was suffering from a minor groin problem, but the 32-year-old has since been training regularly in Manchester.

Whereas Grealish, who like Stones has seen his campaign stunted by problems, is also believed to be back in contention for a starting spot. The former Aston Villa captain hasn’t been involved for City since their FA Cup fifth-round victory over Luton Town in February.
