Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker sustained a serious hamstring injury during the team’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, and the club is still awaiting the results of his scan.
The Brazilian went down in the second half at Selhurst Park after kicking a pass back from Trent Alexander-Arnold. The visible pain on Alisson’s face and his reaction indicated the severity of the injury.
According to Paul Gorst of the Liverpool Echo, the club is waiting for scan results before determining how long he will be sidelined.
Alisson is expected to be out for a significant period, which will give Caoimhin Kelleher the opportunity to step in.
Kelleher has performed admirably whenever called upon and will have a chance to further impress ahead of a potential departure in the 2025 summer transfer window, as Liverpool is expected to bring in Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili.
There has been speculation that Mamardashvili could join Liverpool sooner than planned, with reports suggesting he might arrive early to replace Alisson.
However, this is unlikely, as Alisson isn’t expected to miss the rest of the season, and Valencia, currently fighting relegation, will not want to lose their goalkeeper.
For now, Arne Slot will rely on Kelleher until Alisson recovers, and the Brazilian will need to address the recurring nature of his injuries.
