Liverpool's star goalkeeper, Alisson, is currently out of action due to a hamstring injury. This means he will not be able to take part in the highly anticipated Premier League match against Manchester City next month. Alisson has already missed two wins for Liverpool against Burnley and Brentford, and during a press conference on Tuesday, manager Jurgen Klopp was unable to give a specific timeline for his return.
In an interview with TNT Sports Brazil, Brazil's new head coach, Dorival Junior, confirmed that Alisson will also be absent from his country's upcoming friendlies against England and Spain during the international break in March. Junior stated that while Alisson and other injured players were initially considered for the call-up, they are currently unable to join the team due to their injuries.
In Alisson's absence, Caoimhin Kelleher will be stepping in as Liverpool's goalkeeper. If Alisson does not make a return before the international break, he will miss at least six more matches for Liverpool. This includes the Premier League match against Luton on Wednesday, the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea on Sunday, and the FA Cup fifth-round tie against Southampton. He will also miss Premier League games against Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, and Everton.
Klopp commented on the team's injury situation, stating that it is not looking great at the moment. Aside from Alisson, Liverpool will also be without Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones, who are both suffering from injuries. Other players are dealing with muscle issues and their availability will be determined on a day-to-day basis.
Klopp also mentioned that players like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dom Szoboszlai are on their way back from injuries, but are not yet able to join team training. This means they will also not be available for upcoming matches. However, Klopp remains optimistic and has stated that as long as they have 11 players, they will continue to fight for victories.
