Arne Slot is in a bad pass. Defeated once again by Crystal Palace last Saturday (2-1) in the Premier League, Liverpool suffered a second setback, this time in the Champions League this Tuesday against Galatasaray (1-0). A most complicated match in Turkish land, to which is added another bad news that does not help the affairs of the Dutch tactician.
The Reds lost Alisson on injury. The goalkeeper, having felt a discomfort in the hamstrings, was forced to give up his place in the 56th minute to his replacement (high level) Giorgi Mamardashvili. A more than mixed evening therefore for the Brazilian, after having conceded a goal from Victor Osimhen on a penalty caused by Dominik Szoboszlai.
This change does not bother anything good for the 33 -year -old player. It is indeed quite rare to see a goalkeeper claiming his release during the game. This therefore testifies to the importance of this injury to Liverpool, who also communicated to the subjects of his absent, before a difficult calendar.
No Alisson against Chelsea and Manchester United
This is the observation announced by Arne Slot. “Alisson is not part of the team tomorrow”while Liverpool moves to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea. Even more, the player “Nor will it participate in the trip to Brazil with the national team”can be read in the press release. According to the English press, and more precisely The Athleticthe goalkeeper could be absent for six weeks.
To this absence is added that, less serious, of Hugo Ekitike. The Frenchman was also released in the second half against Galatasaray. If the attacker could be able to face the blues, no risk will be taken by Arne Slot and his staff. “” Hugo will train again today and we will see where he is, just like Federico. We will have to wait until the end of the session to see where they are exactly. »»
