Liverpool is enjoying a successful season, sitting atop the Premier League and second in the Champions League table. However, they received a shock when Alisson Becker was forced off in the 79th minute due to a hamstring injury during their 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace on October 5th. Concerns have emerged that the 32-year-old goalkeeper could be sidelined until December, according to Football Insider.

Given Alisson’s history of hamstring issues and the availability of capable backup Caoimhin Kelleher, his absence might be extended by another two weeks, potentially resulting in a two-month spell on the sidelines. Liverpool’s medical team is cautious, aiming to avoid any risks with a player who has been virtually indispensable throughout his Anfield career. Consequently, there is a growing possibility that Alisson may not make his return until early December.

Alisson’s Recurring Injuries Raise Concerns for Liverpool’s Future

Alisson Becker, a key figure since his 2018 arrival from Roma, has been pivotal in Liverpool’s success, amassing 271 appearances and an incredible 119 clean sheets. Despite his £150,000 per week salary and undeniable talent, the Brazilian goalkeeper’s recurring injury issues have become a growing concern. Having missed 40 matches over the past five seasons—more than any other Premier League goalkeeper—Liverpool’s reliance on Caoimhin Kelleher is increasing, with the Republic of Ireland international now given a chance to prove his worth under new manager Arne Slot. Additionally, the acquisition and loan of Giorgi Mamardashvili suggests the club is already looking towards a future beyond Alisson, as his hamstring troubles continue to linger.
