Jurgen Klopp gives his thoughts on the Genk game and Alisson's return

Liverpool are preparing to play an away Champions League game against Genk today, October 23. Ahead of the game, Jurgen Klopp has shared his thoughts on the game as well as Alisson's return. "They will be tough," Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com. "Yes, they lost against Salzburg but it was completely even for the first half an hour. Salzburg scored four goals in a short period and that was obviously impressive. But against Napoli, Genk showed their other face. They are very well organised and caused problems for Napoli. "Napoli had some big chances, but Genk deserved a point - now that's what we will face. "They are a really good football-playing team in the Belgian league; they don't always play long or in behind. They play in the spaces, they have different formations. "They are brave in their formations in that they have four players high when they try to find a way in behind, so they are really just an interesting side. They were champions last year and they lost some decisive players, but they are doing very well again. "If they hadn't lost at the weekend they would have been really close to the top two. We expect a really good side, that's all."  Alisson has returned to the Reds squad after suffering an injury during the first game of the season against Norwich City. "Big credit to Adrian because when Ali got injured it was bad news, but he made it a smooth time for us and was really important," added Klopp. "Now Ali is back and has had his first game - not the most busy game he will play, but it is good, he is getting rhythm. "It is really nice and when you saw him training, he was so desperate to be back, so his life is good again now! "It is what the boys love to do and for goalkeepers it is just the same. It was quite a long time, so it's good."
