Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson was absent from the match against Bournemouth over the weekend.
The Brazilian has been in excellent form this season, recording three clean sheets in five matches.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot revealed before the game that Alisson was dealing with injury issues, and Caoimhin Kelleher would take his place.
Kelleher delivered a strong performance, keeping a clean sheet and proving once again why he is considered one of the top backup goalkeepers in the world. He made several key saves, helping Liverpool secure another clean sheet at Anfield.
The Reds have now managed four clean sheets in five league games this season, with their only goal conceded coming against Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
Alisson has raised concerns by sharing an update on Instagram, showing himself with a medical device on his legs, designed to aid in muscle recovery.
Fans are understandably worried as no official information has been released about the severity of his injury.
While Kelleher is a reliable backup, supporters will be eager for Alisson’s quick return to the starting lineup.
Liverpool face West Ham United in the Carabao Cup this week, where Kelleher will start again, a decision that would have been the same even if Alisson were fit.
Slot is fortunate to have two high-quality goalkeepers, with Kelleher capable of starting for most Premier League teams.
