Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker will not feature against Manchester City in the Community Shield this weekend as they continue to recover from injuries.
The Liverpool duo have suffered issues in pre-season that have disrupted their preparations for the new campaign and Jurgen Klopp will not risk them in the traditional curtain-raiser on Saturday. While Alisson will be okay to take his place in goal for their opening Premier League game against Fulham, Jota faces a longer spell on the sidelines.
Pep Guardiola will give an update on the fitness in his City squad on Friday lunchtime ahead of the Saturday teatime encounter. Aymeric Laporte missed the pre-season tour with injury, Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland were left out of the first friendly as a precaution while three players trained with the Under-23s in Croatia instead.
