"Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker picked up a hamstring injury in the defeat to Galatasaray on Tuesday evening. The Brazil international had played every game in the Premier League and Champions League so far this season, but could not continue at Rams Park and was replaced by summer signing Giorgi Mamardashvili in the second half. Liverpool also lost Hugo Ekitike to injury, and had a late penalty decision overturned by VAR in what turned out to be a frustrating night for Arne Slot's side."
"Alisson, who made a string of fine saves to prevent Galatasaray from increasing their lead on the night before coming off, has suffered from hamstring issues in recent seasons. The stopper was left out of Brazil's squad for their upcoming international friendlies against South Korea and Japan, and is awaiting the results of a scan to determine the exact timeframe of his absence."
"After the match in Turkey, Slot claimed that his first-choice keeper would not be fit in time to face Chelsea on the weekend. If my player is on the floor, nine out of 10 times I fear the worst, and with the worst I mean that he cannot continue, he said.
