Klopp provides fitness update on Thiago and Keita

Speaking ahead of the Brentford game, Jurgen Klopp updated the media on the fitness of Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita.

He said (via Liverpool FC): "With Thiago, it's a muscle in the calf. It is not 100% clear when he will back. After the international break probably. I don't think it will be any earlier."

Asked about Keita, he responded: "Nothing too serious but it will keep him out of the next game and potentially a little longer. It is painful and we have to see how he deals with it. It is not cool. He had a good pre-season and he played a lot of games but it happens."

Knowing Keita's injury history, it can be assumed that the Reds probably won't risk him before the international break too, which starts next weekend.

Not having Keita and Thiago will be a concern for the team as we have to face Manchester City next weekend.
