Arne Slot has confirmed that Alisson, the custodian for Liverpool, will miss a "few weeks" due to a suspected hamstring injury.
Alisson will be sidelined for "a few weeks," according to Liverpool manager Arne Slot, following the goalie's injury sustained during his team's 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
The Liverpool keeper cleared the ball in his own box and went down, hitting the ground with some difficulty. The 23-year-old Vitezslav Jaros, who would make an unexpected club debut, took his place. Caoimhin Kelleher, the second choice, was sick and was unable to travel to south London.
Slot gave an explanation of why his custodian will not be training with the Brazil group during the international break following his team's victory at Selhurst Park.
"It will require several weeks," he stated.
"As of late, we are unsure. It indicates that he is not a member of the Brazil team, and I do not anticipate him playing for the team in our next game."
Slot responded, "I think it's a hamstring injury," when asked if it was.
Despite the setback, Slot thinks his team will be ready to handle Alisson's anticipated absence from the starting lineup.
He declared that Alisson was "our clear No. 1."
Since he is the world's best custodian, any injury to him is always devastating. However, we have a second, equally excellent choice in nearly every position.
"Caoimhin Kelleher is obviously No. 2 since he has already demonstrated that. And the fact that our third keeper can influence our outcomes is really encouraging, given that Caom was sick yesterday.
At halftime, Slot announced that Alexis Mac Allister was also substituted out owing to a groin injury. During the half, Dominik Szobszlai took the position of the Argentina international who had started the match.
"It's hard to say how bad it is," the manager remarked.
"He could play on, but I don't think it's a good idea to keep playing because he felt it a little too much."
"Is it possible for him to play in Argentina? It's hard for me to tell you that."
