The 32-year-old Brazilian international Alisson Becker was injured during Liverpool’s victory against Crystal Palace (0-1) and came off at the end of the match on Saturday October 5. According to the British press, tests have shown that he will probably not 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. Current leader of the Premier League after seven days, Liverpool could thus be deprived of their experienced goalkeeper for the summit matches against Chelsea (October 20) and Arsenal (October 27).
“A hard blow” for Arne Slot
With two victories in the Champions League, the Redsnow coached by Arne Slot after the departure of Jürgen Klopp, will also play against Leipzig (October 23) and Leverkusen (November 5).

25-year-old Irishman Caoimhin Kelleher is expected to replace Alisson during this period, as he did last season when the Brazilian was already sidelined with a similar hamstring injury. “It’s always a big blow when he gets injured, not just for him but for all of us as a team,” Slot lamented after the victory against Palace.
