Naby Keita and Curtis Jones are set to miss out this weekend.

Players like Alisson Becker, Ibrahima Konate and Diogo Jota have suffered injuries in the pre-season and are expected to be available for their Premier League opener against Fulham.

Liverpool won their first trophy of the new season by beating Manchester City 3-1 in the Community Shield.

But Naby Keita and Curtis Jones will not recover in time and Klopp doesn’t want to take any risks.

‘Naby is ill and Curtis felt a little bit and we couldn’t take any risks,’ Klopp explained to liverpoolfc.com. ‘All of a sudden the team was really young and we play [against] a really strong side.’

‘Naby is ill, so no [chance he will miss the Fulham match]. Curtis, we have to see. [There] was no impact or whatever, so that always makes it a bit, “My god, what could it be?” We had no time; he felt it and he wanted to play desperately, but then the medical department said no and that we needed to make further tests. We will do that [on Monday and then we will know more.’
