Alisson, who be 32 years old, come off in the 79th minute of the match after him clear the ball and immediately go down holding him hamstring. Him manager, Arne Slot, confirm say the injury be serious and Alisson no go be part of the Brazil squad for the upcoming international break.
“If a player walk off like that, normally mean say him no go be in the Brazil squad, and I no expect am to be in the first game we play after the break,” Slot say. “It go take few weeks I assume.”
Vitezslav Jaros, the third-choice goalkeeper, make him debut for Liverpool and help the team secure the win after Alisson go out. Caoimhin Kelleher, the second-choice goalkeeper, was unavailable due to illness.
Aside from Alisson, Liverpool also lose Alexis Mac Allister to injury. Mac Allister was replaced at half-time due to a groin issue. “He could continue playing, but he feel it too much and I no think it be good to keep playing,” Slot explain. “Can he go to Argentina and play? That be difficult for me to tell you now.”
Liverpool face a tough schedule after the international break, including matches against Chelsea, RB Leipzig, and Arsenal. Slot express concern about the scheduling, saying “Perhaps the FA should reconsider scheduling—if you play on a Wednesday night, why have an early start for an away fixture?”
