Loss against Crystal Palace, loss against Galatasaray – and now comes another tough message for Liverpool: Goalkeeper Alisson Becker is injured.

Premier League club will have to manage without first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker for a while. How long? Not even Liverpool coach Arne Slot knows.

What is clear is that he cannot play with us on Saturday or travel to Brazil to play with the national team, says the Dutchman at the press conference before the league meeting with Chelsea.

I would be surprised if he can play the first match after the international break.

According to The Athletics' information, the star goalkeeper will be out for eight weeks.

Everything depends on how fast the recovery becomes. It can go fast, it can go slow. It's hard to say the number of days or weeks, says Slot.

Alisson Becker injured himself in the Champions League match against Galatasaray and was replaced by Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Georgian star is also expected to get the chance against Chelsea.

We knew that we brought in a good goalkeeper but it's only in the first match that you see how he has come into the team, and we saw there that he has done it in a very good way.

Liverpool tops the Premier League with 15 points after six matches. Arsenal is second with 13 and Crystal Palace third with 12.
