In a significant blow to Liverpool’s title aspirations, manager Arne Slot confirmed that star goalkeeper Alisson Becker will be sidelined until after the November international break due to a serious hamstring injury.
This news comes as a major setback for the Reds, who rely heavily on Alisson’s commanding presence in goal and his ability to organize the defense.
Slot indicated that the injury is more severe than initially anticipated, raising concerns not just about Alisson’s immediate availability but also about the overall depth of Liverpool’s squad as they navigate a demanding fixture schedule in the coming weeks.
With Alisson out, Liverpool will need to depend on their backup options, which could put additional pressure on the team’s defensive structure.
