Liverpool will be without Alisson for an unspecified period after the goalkeeper revealed he must step back from action to recover. He took to social media ahead of Saturday\u2019s meeting with Brighton & Hove Albion to confirm the setback. \u201cUnfortunately, I\u2019ll have to stay a while out of action,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAlready working hard to be back stronger. Thank you for you [sic] support.\u201d<\/p>\n
No further medical details have been released and Slot did not discuss the goalkeeper\u2019s fitness during his press conference on Friday. The club has confirmed that Alisson has withdrawn from the Brazil squad for the upcoming international break and will concentrate on rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
This latest interruption follows a familiar pattern of problems for the goalkeeper. He missed eight games earlier this season with a hamstring injury and was sidelined again earlier this month. In the 2024\u201325 season he was forced to sit out close to three months with a similar issue. Across 2024 he missed a total of 40 matches for club and country with various physical issues.<\/p>\n
After a period of relative fitness during the majority of the current campaign, Liverpool must now prepare for another period without his availability. Alisson\u2019s admission that he will need \u201ca while\u201d to recover places his involvement in fixtures immediately after the international window in doubt.<\/p>\n
The timing is significant. Liverpool face crucial matches when club competition resumes. The FA Cup quarterfinal against Manchester City may have to be contested without Alisson. He also seems destined to miss the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain. Giorgi Mamardashvili will take his place in the team while the club manages the goalkeeper\u2019s recovery.<\/p>\n
For now, Liverpool must manage both the short-term selection issue and the longer-term question of how to protect a player who has endured repeated physical setbacks in recent seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
