Liverpool manager Arne Slot has ruled out goalkeeper Alisson Becker for the Premier League clash against Chelsea on the road tomorrow.
The Merseyside giants have suffered a dip in form over the past two games. They have suffered defeats to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray.
The Reds are just two points ahead of second-placed Arsenal in the league. They must beat Chelsea to reclaim their top spot if the Gunners win against West Ham.
Ahead of Saturday’s game, Slot has confirmed that Alisson won’t be involved after sustaining a hamstring injury against Galatasaray in midweek.
The Brazil international could be sidelined for several more games. He looks set to miss the derby against Manchester United after the international break too.
The Reds have a wonderful deputy in the squad in Giorgi Mamardashvili, and should be able to cover up Alisson’s void with relative ease in the coming weeks.
While Alisson is injured, the Reds have received a timely boost with Hugo Ekitike back in training after his knock against Galatasaray on the road.
