Alisson sidelined until mid-November with harmstring injury

Bad news for Liverpool. The Reds will be without first choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker until mid-November after scans revealed that the Brazilian goalkeeper is suffering from a hamstring injury. 

The former Roma goalkeeper was forced off the pitch on Saturday against Crystal Palace in the 79th minute and the bad omens of a muscle injury have been confirmed by journalist Lewis Steele of Mail Sport. 

Alisson is expected to be sidelined until after the next international break, i.e. around six weeks, during which time the Reds will face tough opponents such as Chelsea, Leipzig, Arsenal, Brighton, Leverkusen and Aston Villa. 

Therefore, it will be Caoimhin Kelleher who will have to fill Alisson's gloves until the Brazilian goalkeeper recovers, while the Reds will be looking to continue their brilliant start to the season under Arne Slot.
