"Ali, of course, was in the session as many people could see, but unfortunately he felt something towards the end of the session. People looked at it and we decided, and he decided together, that it wasn't good enough to play tomorrow. And then it's of no use travelling."
"There's definitely a chance, yes, because we don't expect it to be a big thing. But it was too much to be available for tomorrow."
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson sustained a minor injury during a training session before the team's departure to Turkey for the Champions League last-16 first leg against Galatasaray. Manager Arne Slot decided not to risk the 33-year-old Brazilian for the Tuesday match, with Alisson choosing not to travel to Istanbul. The club has not disclosed specific injury details. Slot expressed optimism about Alisson's availability for Liverpool's Premier League fixture against Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday, stating the injury is not expected to be serious. Giorgi Mamardashvili will start in goal against Galatasaray, marking his first appearance since the FA Cup win over Barnsley. Liverpool also faces the absence of forward Federico Chiesa due to illness.
