Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker will miss Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup against Chelsea after pulling up with a calf injury as the European champions opened their Premier League campaign with a 4-1 win over Norwich on Friday.

The Brazilian fell to the floor after kicking the ball clear from a routine goal kick and needed support to limp off the field six minutes before half-time.

Liverpool face Chelsea in Istanbul this week in the traditional early season clash between the previous campaign's Champions League and Europa League winners.

"He will not be ready for Wednesday, I can say that already," said Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

"He felt his calf. He looked behind him because he thought something hit him."
