The Reds No 1 goalkeeper picked up a muscle injury in training before Jurgen Klopp's side's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup.

Klopp said: "Unfortunately, Alisson is out. (It's an injury) in the hip region, small muscle. You could all do your work still, but for a professional goalkeeper it's slightly different."

Then after he confirmed that the Brazilian will be out for at least one week which means he will definitely be unavailable for Atletico clash.

Klopp added: "He is not available for tomorrow and then the next week. We have to judge the situation."

But there are boosts for the Reds as well. "Henderson has a chance for Atletico but not Bournemouth. Shaq is not involved. Alisson is out. 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," said Klopp.
