According to reports innie UK, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is gone ‘til November with a hamstring injury.
The Brazil international suffered the injury during a 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace last Saturday and was replaced by Vitezslav Jaros after 79 minutes.
Liverpool, who are a point ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the league standings, don’t expect to have the keeper back before the next international break in November.
That means he will miss league games against Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton and Aston Villa.
They also face RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League and take on Brighton in the League Cup during that period.
Asked about Alisson’s injury after Saturday’s game, Liverpool manager Arne Slot said Irishman Caoimhin Kelleher “is the number two” goalkeeper.
He explains: “Otherwise, the last time Alisson was injured I would have played Vit, but I played Caoimhin. So Caoimhin is the number two and did really well.”
