The Brazilian shot-stopper has been a key player for the Reds, but now says he unfortunately expects to be out injured for a while.

See below for the post Alisson shared this morning on his Instagram stories…

“Unfortunately I’ll be out of action for a while,” he said in the post. “Already working hard to be back stronger! Thank you for the support!”

Liverpool have the depth to cope with Alisson’s injury

Liverpool would obviously much rather have Alisson fit and available, but they also have a very capable backup ‘keeper in the form of Giorgi Mamardashvili.

The Georgia international has already had to come in and play in Alisson’s place during an injury earlier this season, and he’s generally long been regarded as a big talent for the future.

It’s not clear precisely how long Alisson will be out for, but the Brazilian’s Instagram post certainly doesn’t sound too optimistic.

This means we will probably see a lot of games for Mamardashvili between now and the end of the season.

Liverpool’s injury struggles this season

LFC have had a few injury problems this season, with Alexander Isak notably out for the long term.

Conor Bradley has also been out with a lengthy injury, meaning Dominik Szoboszlai has ended up playing a frustrating amount of games at right-back.

Now there’s also some uncertainty about Mohamed Salah’s fitness as he’s set to be out of today’s game against Brighton.
