(Reuters) - Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is closing in on a return to action following his abdominal injury but Wednesday's pre-season game against Salzburg comes too soon for the Brazilian, manager Juergen Klopp said on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old has not played since Liverpool's 4-0 defeat by Manchester United in Thailand earlier this month but is back in training at their camp in Austria.
