Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson to miss Champions League games against PSG
Liverpool won't have first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker back anytime soon. The Brazil international's unspecified injury will keep him out of Saturday's FA Cup quarterfinal at Manchester City as well as the two-leg Champions League quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain, coach Arne Slot said Friday. Alisson played Liverpool's 4-0 win over Galatasaray in the Champions League but then wasn't in the squad three days later for a 2-1 loss at Brighton in the Premier League.
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool won't have first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker back anytime soon. The Brazil international's unspecified injury will keep him out of Saturday's FA Cup quarterfinal at Manchester City as well as the two-leg Champions League quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain, coach Arne Slot said Friday. “He will not be part of the Paris Saint-Germain games as well.
He will be out for a bit longer. Towards the end of the season we expect him to be fit again,” Slot said. Alisson played Liverpool's 4-0 win over Galatasaray in the Champions League but then wasn't in the squad three days later for a 2-1 loss at Brighton in the Premier League.
Giorgi Mamardashvili started in Alisson's place. The 33-year-old Alisson, who has dealt with hamstring problems for the past two seasons, also missed Brazil's two friendlies during the international break. Liverpool is fifth in the Premier League.
Isak to be eased in Alexander Isak could be a part of the squad Saturday. The striker definitely won't start, Slot said, as he returned to team training only Thursday after recovering from a broken ankle and fibula sustained Dec. 20.
