Sky Sports' resident renowned female Liverpool team correspondent Melissa Reddy, exclusively reported on Wednesday that the club's undisputed first-choice Brazil international goalkeeper Alisson Becker, will be ruled out for at least a month due to a hamstring injury.
According to Reddy, Liverpool has scheduled scans to determine the severity of Alisson's injury, but the results are still pending.
Although the severity of Alisson's injury remains uncertain, head coach Arne Slot confirmed in the post-match press conference following the club's controversial 0-1 Champions League defeat to Galatasaray that the player would definitely miss this weekend's match against Chelsea.
Backup goalkeepers Giorgi Mamardashvili and Freddie Woodman will be looking to fill the void left by Alisson's injury.
Furthermore, including this one, this is the 56th game that Alisson has missed due to injury since joining Liverpool, making him the Reds' goalkeeper with the most injuries in recent years. Liverpool's team doctors have decided to have the Brazilian player undergo a thorough treatment of his injury.
Alisson felt leg discomfort after saving Victor Osimhen's long-range shot in the 56th minute of the second half of the Champions League match against Galatasaray, forcing him to be substituted by Giorgi Mamardashvili.
With Liverpool having recently suffered two consecutive defeats, Mamardashvili and Woodman are under considerable pressure in Alisson's absence.
This weekend, the defending Premier League champions will travel to face defending Club World Cup champions Chelsea, who are also in poor form.
It remains to be seen whether the Reds can bounce back and defeat Chelsea to secure all three points.
