Klopp: Alisson to return in April

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expects goalkeeper Alisson to return to action by the end of April. 

Ruled out since February by a muscular issue, the Brazilian stopper was forced to miss the Seleçao's recent 1-0 friendly win over England at Wembley, but is stepping up his recovery. 

During a meeting with fans at the club's training ground, Klopp commented on when Alisson is likely to come back.

"About two and a half, three weeks," he said. "It's not that long anymore, like Diogo [Jota] as well."

Liverpool face Brighton & Hove Albion this Sunday prior to games against Sheffield United and Manchester United in early April. 

Based on Klopp's remarks, Alisson is likely to be involved when the Reds face Everton in the Merseyside derby on 24 April. 

In other injury news, Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is set to be back in contention for the clash against the Seagulls this weekend.
