Alisson Returns to Liverpool After Concussion Protocol

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has returned to Merseyside for further assessment after sustaining a suspected concussion during Brazil's World Cup qualifier against Colombia. The incident occurred following a clash of heads with Colombian defender Davinson Sanchez, leading to his substitution in the 78th minute. Brazil’s team doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar, confirmed that Alisson showed no signs of fainting or memory loss, but felt slightly slower, prompting adherence to concussion protocols. Alisson reassured fans via social media that he is fine, but will follow medical protocols, including imaging tests and cognitive evaluation. Liverpool hopes to have him fit for their Premier League match against Everton on April 2, as they maintain a substantial lead at the top of the table. The goalkeeper's early return emphasizes caution, with Liverpool's medical team set to decide on his availability for upcoming fixtures.
