Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson will miss next week's UEFA Super Cup match against Chelsea after suffering a right calf injury in Friday's Premier League season opening win over Norwich City.

The Brazil international came off in the 39th minute of the match after slipping and holding his calf. He waived off the stretcher but needed assistance from the team's trainers to come off the pitch at Anfield.

Liverpool had four first-half goals to ensure a 4-1 win over newly promoted Norwich.

"We have to see how serious it is and deal with it," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said of Alisson's injury in a post-match news conference. "It's a calf injury. He couldn't carry on, which is never a good sign... he will not play [in Wednesday's Super Cup]."

Alisson -- who started all of last season's 38 Premier League matches -- was instrumental in Liverpool's Champions League title run in May, as well as Brazil's Copa America victory this summer.

Liverpool next travel to Istanbul where they will play defending Europa League winners Chelsea for the Super Cup.

Newly signed Spanish goalkeeper Adrian came on for the Reds, his first game in uniform since joining from West Ham on a free transfer this week. His only blemish in his Anfield debut came when Teemu Pukki, who led the Championship last season with 29 goals, scored for the visitors just past the hour mark.

"[Adrian] is a very confident guy and he came in and I don't think he wanted to sit only on the bench for the next couple of years," Klopp said. "He made himself ready.

"He is 32, a calm guy, emotional as well, good with his feet - how we saw - and that's really important for us."

Liverpool sold longtime keeper Simon Mignolet last week to Belgian side Club Brugge. Caoimhin Kelleher as is expected to serve as Adrian's understudy for the Super Cup fixture, with the youngster having recently returned to training following a broken wrist.

"There are a lot of good things, but you still don't want to have a situation where one goalie is fit," Klopp said. "That's how it is, but we have to see."

ESPN FC's Melissa Reddy contributed to this report.

Liverpool swaggered their way into the new Premier League season with a 4-1 victory over Norwich City, which extended their unbeaten record at Anfield in the competition to 41 matches.

Positives

There were goals, goals and more goals for the European champions with Sadio Mane, a late returnee given his involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations final with Senegal, only used as a late substitute. Fellow forwards Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were sharp and persistent threats while Divock Origi reprised his habit of being decisive.

- Alisson injured in Liverpool's season opener

Right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold's deliveries continue to draw swoons and create opportunities, with Andrew Robertson as solid as you expect on the opposite flank.

Negatives

Alisson limping off on 42 minutes with a lower leg injury clouded the victory and Liverpool will be crossing fingers and all else that the goalkeeper's injury is minor rather than major. Furthermore, the hosts were too open in a first half that saw Norwich have more total shots (seven to six) and conceded on 64 minutes due to being too passive and failing to apply pressure. Their defensive standards were definitely not up to the level the team would expect from themselves.

Manager rating (out of 10)

Jurgen Klopp, 7 -- Saw his side not needing to exert themselves too much while recording a comfortable win and had his face added to the famous banner on the Kop featuring European Cup-winning managers. He'll be sweating on Alisson's health.

Player ratings (1-10; 10 = best, players introduced after 70 minutes get no rating)

GK Alisson Becker, 7 -- A pass meant for Joe Gomez that was too short and intercepted by Teemu Pukki was not the best start to the evening for the Brazil international, who reverted to form and proved his class with saves, with one sharp stop denying Marco Stiepermann in particular. Injured during a goal kick and replaced before half-time, Liverpool cannot afford to be without their world-class keeper for a stretch of time.

DF Trent Alexander-Arnold, 7 -- Made key passes, had several interceptions and whipped in a glorious ball for Liverpool's fourth goal that was gleefully converted by Origi.

DF Joe Gomez, 6 -- Played the ball that sparked the second goal but should have reacted better in the stanza that saw Norwich get their consolation strike.

DF Virgil van Dijk, 7 -- Powerfully headed in Liverpool's third from Salah's corner and led the way in terms of tackles and interceptions. Typically solid in the air and in his individual duels.

DF Andy Robertson, 6 -- Most of the side's play funnelled through the left-back, who had the most touches and passes. Played Pukki onside for Norwich's goal.

MF Fabinho, 7 -- His ability to read the game and stifle the opposition's play is superb. Had the most tackles, most regains and won the majority of his duels.

MF Jordan Henderson, 7 -- Had a shot turned onto the bar by Tim Krul and was alert to a Fabinho shot that was fumbled. An industrious all-round performance from the captain.

MF Gini Wijnaldum, 5 -- A quiet game from the midfielder, who struggled to have much of an influence on the game.

FW Divock Origi, 8 -- Forced the early own goal with his low cross from the left, headed in Alexander-Arnold's ball for Liverpool's fourth and was dangerous throughout the encounter.

FW Roberto Firmino, 9 -- Unplayable. Unselfish. Showed his quick feet and was sharp in his decision-making, too. Made an array of backheels, executed some superb pressing and did just about everything Klopp could have asked for. Had a volley on the turn, which Krul was equal to early on in the game, too. Got the assist for Salah's strike and really should have been on the scoresheet himself.

FW Mohamed Salah, 8 -- A goal, an assist, three key passes and a constant nightmare for Norwich's markers. Looks super fit, stronger and shows no dwindling in determination to land another Golden Boot.

Substitutes:

GK Adrian, 6 -- Making an unexpected debut, he made two saves and will be disappointed not to have kept a clean sheet with 3-0 to the good upon his introduction.

FW Sadio Mane, NR -- Entered after 74 minutes in place of Origi, he showed some flashes but was mainly working himself back into the first-team after some well-earned time off.

MF James Milner, NR -- Replaced Firmino after 86 minutes.

Gloucestershire 165 for 8 (Cockbain 40) beat Surrey 94 for 2 (S Curran 51*) by nine runs (DLS method)

Surrey were beaten by nine runs by Gloucestershire on Duckworth-Lewis-Stern calculations, suffering their sixth defeat in eight Vitality Blast outings this season, when a rain delay left them needing to score 52 from another 4.1 overs at the Kia Oval.

They managed 42 of them, taking their total of 52 for 2 from 7.5 overs when the rain came, in reply to Gloucestershire's 165 for 8, to an eventual 94 for 2. When they were left needing 25 from the last over, however, the game was already all but over.

Sam Curran swung Benny Howell for six and Andrew Tye for two more maximums in the final over to reach a defiant 51 not out from 35 balls, while Ollie Pope finished on an unbeaten 13.

But Howell, fellow medium-pacer Ryan Higgins and fast bowler Tye - who between them sent down the 25 balls after the restart - kept their cool despite understandably greasy conditions to earn Gloucestershire a third win of the T20 campaign and keep them in contention for quarter-final qualification from the South Group.

Gloucestershire's 20-over total was built on a 15-ball 30 up front from Miles Hammond, James Bracey's 25-ball 33 and 40 from 28 balls from Ian Cockbain in the middle overs, and then a useful 22 not out at the end by Jack Taylor, from 12 balls and with four well-struck fours.

Surrey suffered two early blows when Aaron Finch, their big-hitting Australian opener, edged a rising ball from Chris Liddle to keeper Bracey to depart for 12 to the last ball of the fourth over, and Will Jacks was caught at extra cover off a leading edge for 15 in slow left-armer Tom Smith's first over.

From 42 for 2 much depended for Surrey on the youthful third wicket pair of Curran and Pope, but they had only added ten runs when rain arrived at 8.35pm to drive the players off, with one ball of the eighth over remaining. When play was able to resume, at 9.30pm, the pair faced an almost impossible task.

Gloucestershire, who won the toss, reached 48 for 1 in their initial six-over Powerplay with most of those runs coming from opener Hammond who struck Imran Tahir for two fours in the opening over, took two leg-side fours off Sam Curran in the third over and then lofted brother Tom over long-on for six in the next over.

When Hammond's violent cameo ended with a carve to deep cover off Jade Dernbach, it was left to Bracey to join Michael Klinger and add 24 for the second wicket before the Gloucestershire captain top-edged a pull at Sam Curran to deep square leg to go for 12.

Bracey played some fine shots as Gloucestershire made it to 82 for 2 at the halfway point, but he was caught at long-on off Sam Curran in the 12th over and the visitors needed a busy 17 from Higgins for forward momentum until Cockbain took two straight fours and three twos off the 16th over, bowled by Dernbach and costing 15.

Cockbain then swung South Africa legspinner Tahir for a massive six over midwicket but, later in the same over, perished to a catch at long-on and Howell, Tye and Smith all fell in the frenetic final overs as only Taylor's judicious late hitting - when he could get the strike - enabled Gloucestershire to post a competitive total.

Durham 160 for 5 (Short 68, Steel 47) beat Derbyshire 153 for 9 (Godleman 39, Trevaskis 3-16) by seven runs

Liam Trevaskis and D'Arcy Short delivered match-winning performances as Durham edged out the Derbyshire Falcons by seven runs in a rain-affected North Group match at Derby.

Short top scored with 68 from 48 balls, sharing an opening stand of 114 with Scott Steel as Durham made 160 for 5 with Matt Critchley claiming 2 for 22. Trevaskis then turned the game with 3 for 16 and although Fynn Hudson-Prentice scored an unbeaten 31 from 24 balls, the Falcons came up short on 153 for 7.

Durham looked set for a bigger total after Short and Steel gave them a solid base but the Falcons kept them in check in the closing overs through disciplined bowling and keen fielding.

A strong wind meant hitting the ball in the air carried an element of risk and a slow pitch also made it difficult to accelerate as Durham discovered when they tried to raise the tempo.

Short drove Logan van Beek for consecutive fours as 50 came from the Powerplay but he should have been dismissed on 35 when a top-edged cut at Boyd Rankin was put down by wicketkeeper Daryn Smit at the second attempt.

It threatened to be costly as Short lifted van Beek over wide long-on for what was to be the only six of the innings and then pulled the next ball for four. But when he tried to hit Critchley over the top, he skied a catch to Smit and Alex Lees went in the next over when van Beek took a well judged catch at long-on.

Scott's attempt to reverse-sweep Critchley ended in the hands of backward square and as Durham lost momentum, the innings was in danger of stalling until Peter Handscomb managed to drive Hudson-Prentice over cover to the boundary off the penultimate ball.

Billy Godleman launched the chase with two boundaries from Brydon Carse and after a brief rain delay, he savaged the third over from Matty Potts. The third ball was driven for six, the next two carved to the third man boundary before Godleman dispatched the sixth over long-off for another maximum.

Former Falcons seamer Nathan Rimmington responded by conceding only four from the next over and after Luis Reece was well caught by Jack Burnham at deep midwicket, Godleman was bowled charging Rimmington for 39 off 20 balls.

Wayne Madsen reverse-swept Short for six and drove and swept Steel for two more fours but Trevaskis gave Durham the initiative with three wickets in two overs. After Leus du Plooy failed to clear long-off, Trevaskis held a fierce return catch to remove Madsen for 30 and then had Alex Hughes stumped.

Critchley was well caught at long-on and after a 20-minute rain delay, Durham held their nerve to close the game out despite some defiant blows from van Beek and Hudson-Prentice.
