Liverpool F.C. goalkeeper Alisson Becker is set to miss around six weeks of action due to a hamstring injury. He suffered the injury during the Champions League match against Galatasaray.
What happened?
Alisson Becker was forced to come off due to injury, which has become a concern for Liverpool F.C. supporters. Arne Slot had already ruled him out of Saturday's match against Chelsea.
Why it matters for Liverpool F.C.
The timing of the international break provides some relief, but Alisson's absence will be felt. He has been outstanding for Liverpool F.C. this season. The injury puts him out of action for key fixtures against Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Manchester City.
What comes next?
Giorgi Mamardashvili will have a clear run of games ahead of him to make his mark. Mamardashvili has already had some early involvement this season, playing during pre-season and featuring against Southampton in the Carabao Cup. He showed reliability between the posts and will need to be ready from the outset to hold down the position while Alisson is out. | Date | Opponent | Competition | | --- | --- | --- | | Saturday | Chelsea | Premier League | | | Manchester United | Premier League | | | Real Madrid | Champions League | | | Manchester City | Premier League | Alisson was already set to miss Brazil's upcoming friendlies against South Korea and Japan. His absence is a major setback for Liverpool F.C. in what has already been an eventful week for the club. David Ornstein of The Athletic reports that Alisson is expected to be out for about six weeks after suffering a hamstring injury, following a scan he underwent on Thursday. The injury is not the worst-case scenario, but it is more than just a minor setback. Liverpool F.C. supporters had reason to worry, and the club will have to adjust without their star goalkeeper. Caoimhin Kelleher is no longer with the club, so the responsibility falls to Giorgi Mamardashvili. The way this season has started, it looks like he will have plenty to do. Mamardashvili has a chance to make his mark and prove himself as a reliable goalkeeper for Liverpool F.C.
