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.

The Egypt international has had a mixed season for Liverpool, but he’s looked better in recent times, scoring a sublime solo goal against Galatasaray in the Champions League this week.

However, Salah was unable to finish that game and it now looks like he’ll be out against Brighton and out of Egypt’s matches for the upcoming international break.

Arne Slot’s Mohamed Salah injury update

Speaking at his press conference today, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo, Slot said: “Unusual [he is injured], I think you expect the outcome so he is not available for tomorrow. Good thing for LFC is we go to international break, bad news for Egypt, he can’t go there.

“We hope with what Mo has shown in the past he can recovery faster than other players. He takes such good care of his body, he can be back earlier than others as history has shown. Only two weeks until we go again…”

So it’s not the worst news Liverpool fans could have heard, but it’s not ideal to be missing a key player like Salah at this important stage of the season.

It sounds like it might not be too long, so LFC supporters will hope he can return for the crucial period coming up in the race for the top four and the latter stages of both the Champions League and the FA Cup.
