Liverpool have suffered a major setback as first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker has been ruled out for around six weeks due to injury. This comes as a huge blow for manager Jürgen Klopp, especially with the Reds facing a hectic run of fixtures in both the Premier League and European competitions.
According to reports from England, Alisson sustained a muscle injury in his thigh during a recent training session. Medical assessments have confirmed that he will be sidelined until at least mid-November. Losing one of the best goalkeepers in the world is undoubtedly a huge concern for Liverpool’s defensive stability.
Over the past few seasons, Alisson has been a rock at the back, playing a pivotal role in Liverpool’s fight for titles. The Brazilian goalkeeper is not only known for his outstanding reflexes but also for his ability to start attacking plays from the back. With him unavailable, Liverpool will now have to rely on backup goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
While Kelleher has impressed in several cup appearances, his lack of experience compared to Alisson raises questions about Liverpool’s ability to cope in crucial matches. Fans fear that the upcoming six weeks could prove to be a stern test for the Reds, particularly in key clashes against top rivals.
Liverpool are currently among the contenders for the Premier League title. Alisson’s absence could make it more difficult for them to maintain consistency at the top. Supporters can only hope that Kelleher steps up to the challenge and that Alisson makes a swift recovery to rejoin the team in their quest for silverware.
