Liverpool injury: Alisson Becker doubtful for Bournemouth

Liverpool manager Arne Slot says goalkeeper Alisson Becker is a doubt to face Bournemouth in Saturday’s Premier League game because of a muscle issue.

Alisson has played in all of the Anfield side’s four league games this season and was in goal for their Champions League win at AC Milan on Tuesday.

He also played for Brazil in the Copa America during the summer as well as the recent international break.

When asked about the expanded fixture schedule before the game in Milan, the 31-year-old said “nobody asks the players” about their workload.

“Alisson is a doubt if he can train on Friday,” said Slot.

“If he can’t then he probably won’t play. We have to wait and see.”

Alisson played 42 matches for Liverpool and Brazil last season despite being injured for more than two months, when Caoimhin Kelleher deputised for him.

“He [Alisson] has a slight issue with one of his muscles and we wonder if this game is too early or not,” added Slot.

“He didn’t get it in the Milan game, it happened a bit before, but after the Milan game he felt it more and more.

“We have to wait and see if he will be in goal on Saturday or if we have to wait a few extra days.”
