Klopp reveals Alisson, Shaqiri start dates

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reveals the start dates for new signings Alisson Becker and Xherdan Shaqiri, both of whom were involved at the 2018 World Cup.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed when new signings Alisson Becker and Xherdan Shaqiri will join the squad for the first time.

Both players, who joined the Reds earlier this month, were involved at the World Cup with Brazil and Switzerland respectively.

Klopp has opted to give the Liverpool players who were involved at Russia 2018 extra time off but confirmed that Alisson and Shaqiri would be in training soon.

Alisson will begin his Liverpool career by joining up with the squad for the training camp in France later this month, while Shaqiri is set to join his new teammates in New Jersey on Tuesday.

"Shaqiri will come the day after tomorrow directly to New Jersey and Alisson will come with Roberto Firmino and will be a part of the second camp in Evian," the German told the official club site.

"That's good that we'll have them all together, apart from the semi-finalists of the World Cup."

Liverpool have also signed midfielder Naby Keita and Fabinho this summer.
