"Tuesday's defeat in Istanbul has seemingly cost Liverpool more than just three points in their pursuit of Champions League success this season. One of the few standout performers for Arne Slot on a frustrating night, Alisson Becker injured his hamstring once again after stopping all-world forward Victor Osimhen in a one-on-one situation. Now, it looks like the Reds could be without their star keeper for the foreseeable future as the result of another muscle issue for the 32-year old."
"The club have the player set for an MRI on Thursday, but if reports from Sky Sports on Wednesday are accurate, Alison will be out of action until after the next international break. This must be deja vu for Slot and his staff as our No. 1 keeper missed 31 matches last season for both club and coutnry. This injury is continuing a worrying trend over the last few seasons."
Alisson Becker injured his hamstring while making a one-on-one save from Victor Osimhen and immediately required substitution. Manager Arne Slot indicated Alisson is almost certain to miss Saturday's match against Chelsea. The club has scheduled an MRI on Thursday, and Sky Sports reports suggest Alisson may be sidelined until after the next international break. The goalkeeper missed 31 matches last season, and the injury continues a worrying pattern. Giorgi Mamardashvili will replace Alisson and has an opportunity to establish himself, echoing Caoimhin Kelleher's previous extended run in goal.
