Liverpool are set to be without goalkeeper Alisson Becker until the November international break but it is now feared that the Brazilian could be out of action for longer than first expected.
The 32-year-old is a major part of Arne Slot’s squad and started for the Dutch coach in six of the Reds’ opening seven Premier League games.
However, Alisson missed the Chelsea clash last time out as the former Roma star picked up a hamstring injury in Liverpool’s match with Crystal Palace before the latest international break. This forced the Brazil international off the pitch and it is believed that the goalkeeper will be out of action until the November international break.
Ahead of a big week for Liverpool, in which the Merseyside club play both RB Leipzig and Arsenal, Football Insider reports that there is a new injury fear related to Alisson.
Behind the scenes at Anfield, it is thought that the Brazilian star will not be back until December as the Premier League giants are set to take extra caution due to the 32-year-old’s ongoing injury issues.
Alisson has now missed 40 games through injury over the last five seasons, more than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League, which is an issue the Reds are looking into.
