Liverpool's star goalkeeper, Alisson, suffered a worrying injury during their match against Crystal Palace. Manager Arne Slot expressed his concerns that the team may have to cope without Alisson for a significant amount of time. Despite this setback, Liverpool managed to secure a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace thanks to a first-half goal from Diogo Jota.
The win continued Liverpool's impressive start to the season under Slot's leadership. However, their joy was short-lived as Alisson was forced to leave the pitch in the 79th minute due to a hamstring injury. Third-choice keeper Vitezslav Jaros was brought on to replace him for the remainder of the match. Alisson had previously missed two games last month due to a minor hamstring issue, but this time it seems he may be out for a longer period of time. Slot hinted that the 32-year-old may not return until after the November international break.
Looking ahead to the team's upcoming matches, Slot acknowledged that Alisson's absence will be a blow to the squad. He also recognized the difficulty of their upcoming fixtures, including a tough away game against Wolves. Despite this, Slot remains confident in his team's ability to perform well and secure important wins.
Liverpool's star defender, Virgil van Dijk, also commented on Alisson's injury after the match. He expressed concern that it may be a serious issue, especially since the goalkeeper had just recovered from a previous hamstring injury. Van Dijk also acknowledged the team's strong defensive record and the importance of everyone contributing to clean sheets.
Despite their impressive performances, Liverpool remains focused on their goals and is not concerned with outside expectations. Van Dijk emphasized their determination to compete, win, and be successful. After the international break, the team will face a tough schedule, including a home match against Chelsea and two difficult away games against RB Leipzig and Arsenal.
