A number of Liverpool supporters have erupted at the confirmation that Alisson and Fabinho will miss Saturday's clash with Watford.

The Reds make the trip to Vicarage Road this weekend, kicking off the latest round of Premier League action.

Jurgen Klopp's men know that a win will put his team top of the table, as they look to get back to winning ways after the 2-2 draw with Manchester City last time around.

Unfortunately, the Reds will have to make do without two of their most important players in Alisson and Fabinho, both of whom have been off representing Brazil on international duty.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday [via Pearce on Twitter], Klopp said that the duo are unavailable for Saturday's game and will instead fly straight to Spain ahead of the Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
