Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson ruled out of Chelsea Premier League match after Galatasaray injury

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker suffered an injury during their Champions League match against Galatasaray, leading to his substitution in the 56th minute and ruling him out of the upcoming Premier League fixture against Chelsea. Manager Arne Slot confirmed that the injury occurred while Alisson made a save from Victor Osimhen and described the situation as concerning, indicating that the goalkeeper will definitely miss the match at Stamford Bridge. Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who replaced Alisson during the Galatasaray game, is expected to make his Premier League debut against Chelsea as Liverpool look to recover from back-to-back defeats. Slot also mentioned a possible injury to striker Hugo Ekitike but expressed cautious optimism about his availability for the Chelsea game. The absence of Alisson is a significant setback for Liverpool, given his experience and importance to the team’s defense. Despite these challenges, Slot remains confident that Liverpool is close to regaining the form they showed when winning the Premier League title last season.
