Alisson Becker is unavailable for Liverpool's match against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday. The 33-year-old goalkeeper suffered a hamstring injury during recent training sessions, according to the Premier League. Medical assessments confirmed he will also miss Brazil's upcoming international friendlies against England and Spain later this month.
Caoimhin Kelleher is expected to start in goal for the Merseyside club at Anfield. Liverpool currently sit in second place in the Premier League table, trailing leaders Manchester City on goal difference. Manager Arne Slot confirmed the player requires a period of rehabilitation before returning to first-team action, per Sky Sports.
Brazil head coach Dorival Junior has called up Leo Jardim as a replacement for the national squad. Alisson has kept seven clean sheets in 22 league appearances this season. The goalkeeper remains a key figure for the club, having signed a contract extension until June 2027. Liverpool face a busy schedule following the international break, including Europa League quarter-final fixtures.
