Liverpool Goalkeeper Alisson Expected to Miss Chelsea After Champions League Injury

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker suffered an injury during their UEFA Champions League match against Galatasaray and is confirmed to miss the upcoming Premier League game against Chelsea, according to manager Arne Slot. Alisson was injured while making a crucial save against Victor Osimhen and had to be substituted in the 56th minute, casting doubt on his availability for future matches. The Brazilian goalkeeper has had a history of injuries, missing multiple games in previous seasons, which raises concerns about his recovery and the impact on Liverpool's performance. Liverpool's backup goalkeeper Georgi Mamardashvili, who has garnered recognition such as Georgian Footballer of the Year in 2024, is expected to step in during Alisson's absence. This injury comes at a difficult time for Liverpool, who have recently lost two consecutive matches and face a challenging run of fixtures. The club and fans await further updates on Alisson's condition as his absence represents a significant blow to Liverpool's defensive stability.
