Arne Slot already ruled Alisson out of Liverpool’s trip to Stamford Bridge at the weekend after the goalkeeper suffered an injury in the Reds’ 1–0 defeat to Galatasaray.
The Brazilian shot-stopper was forced to come off the pitch just 11 minutes into the second half after sustaining what looked to be a muscle injury. Alisson grimaced in pain after saving a shot from Victor Osimhen and could not continue.
Giorgi Mamardashvili replaced the 32-year-old, who missed chunks of last season with a hamstring injury, a thigh injury and a concussion. Now, Alisson is looking at another spell on the sidelines, according to Slot.
“It is never positive if you go off like this,” the Liverpool boss told after the Champions League defeat.
“You can be sure [Alisson] is not gonna play on Saturday,” Slot confirmed.
The Reds will now be without arguably the best goalkeeper in the world when they travel to west London to take on Chelsea this weekend. Alisson joins Giovanni Leoni in the infirmary, though Slot did not reveal the specific injury the Brazil international is nursing.
