The goalkeeper of Liverpool Alisson Beckerwho was injured on Saturday against the Crystal Palacehas picked up a hamstring injury and is expected to be out for around six weeks, according to the British press, which will cause him to miss the games against Chelsea and Arsenal.
The 32-year-old Brazil international was injured in the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace and had to leave at the end of the match. According to the British press, tests have shown that Alisson is unlikely to be fit to play before the end of the international break in November.
If this period of unavailability is confirmed, Alisson could return for the match against Southampton on November 24. Currently leading the Premier League after seven rounds, Liverpool could be without its experienced goalkeeper for the summit matches against Chelsea ( October 20) and Arsenal (October 27).
With two victories in the Champions League, the reds, now coached by Arne Slot after the departure of Jürgen Klopp, will also play against Leipzig (October 23) and Leverkusen (November 5). Irishman Caoimhin Kelleher, 25, who has not played at Palace due to illness, is expected to replace Alisson this season, as he did last season when the Brazilian was sidelined with a similar back injury.
After the victory against Palace, Slot already knew that his goalkeeper, “the best in the world”, would be out in “a few weeks”. “It’s always a big blow when he gets injured, not just for him but for all of us as a team,” he lamented.
