Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp rules Diogo Jota out of Community Shield clash against Man City after suffering hamstring set-back during pre-season training... but says goalkeeper Alisson 'has a chance' to feature

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Diogo Jota will not be fit to play their Community Shield clash against Manchester City later this month after suffering another hamstring injury in training.

Jota has travelled with the Reds squad to the Far East on their pre-season tour but pulled up with the problem having only just returned to training from a similar injury during Portugal duty last month.

The 25-year-old will undergo tests to discover the extent of the injury after being forced to sit out of their 2-0 friendly victory over Crystal Palace and now his manager Klopp has admitted he will be out of action until at least next month - ruling him out of their Community Shield game against City on July 30.
