Liverpool boss Arne Slot shares when he thinks Alisson could return from injury

Liverpool have been left reeling by an injury suffered by goalkeeper Alisson Becker in Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Crystal Palace.

The Reds ran out 1-0 winners over the Eagles in Saturda🃏y’s early kick-off at Selhurst Park, with Diogo Jota scoring the only goal of the game in the ninth minute.

However, what should have been a joyous day for Liverpool and their fans was mar🔥red by the prospect of their goalkeeper being out long-term.

Alisson pulled up with just under 15 minutes remaining of the game, ꦫundergoing extensive treatment♈ on the pitch before coming off.

The Brazil international looked distraught in wake of suffering tﷺhe injury, and was spotted punching the ground while undergoing treatment.

With second-choice keeper Caoimhin Kelleher absent through illness, Vitezslav Jaros wa✨s introduced for his senior debut for the closing stages.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot spoke about Alisson’s injury after the game and shared how long it 🍨could be before he’s back in 🔥the fold.

Arne Slot expects Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson to miss ‘a few weeks’

Slot, s♋peaking to the after the game, said Alisson’s reaction as he came off the pitch suggests he won’t be in the Brazil squad for the international break.

Th💟e Dutchman also speculated that Alisson could be out for “a few weeks” with a ♛hamstring issue, though further assessment is needed.

“The latest is that we don’t know but what we 🌄do know is that if a player walks off like he did, that normall✱y means that he is not in the Brazil squad.

“I don’t expect him🐭 to be in the team in the first game we play after [the internat🌺ional break].

“We have to wait and see, but it is going to take a few weeks I assume for him to be back. I think it is [hi♋s ha♔mstring].”

Alisson will now undergo scans to asꦫcertain the extent of the damage.
