Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp subtly hinted goalkeeper Alisson was to blame for his side’s 3-1 defeat to Leicester City.
Alisson was heavily backed by his manager midweek after several howlers in the Red’s previous match, a 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.
In a press conference, Klopp seemed to hint he had talked to his shot-stopper and he would be back to his sparkling best ahead of the trip to the King Power.
