Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker injured, misses Chelsea match after Champions League defeat

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker suffered an injury during their Champions League match against Galatasaray, forcing him off the pitch after a crucial save against Victor Osimhen. Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed that Alisson will miss the upcoming Premier League match against Chelsea due to the injury, which is expected to sideline him until after the international break. Giorgi Mamardashvili replaced Alisson in goal for the remainder of the match and will likely continue to cover in his absence. This setback comes amid a challenging period for Liverpool, including a recent defeat to Crystal Palace, as the team seeks to regain form under Slot. The injury has also led to Alisson being omitted from Brazil’s squad for their upcoming friendlies as he continues recovery. Liverpool faces a difficult schedule ahead, with narrow margins impacting their recent performances.
