Alisson out for Liverpool in Champions League, back only at season's end | OneFootball

Recently sidelined from the Brazilian National Team during the last FIFA international break, Alisson will also be unavailable for Liverpool in the next decisive matches of the season. This Friday, coach Arne Slot confirmed that the Brazilian goalkeeper is only expected to return to the pitch at the end of the European calendar. In other words, on the eve of the World Cup.

As a result, Alisson will miss the Champions League quarterfinals, in which Liverpool face Paris Saint-Germain.

“He (Alisson) will also not take part in the matches against Paris Saint-Germain. He will be out for a while longer. We hope he is fully recovered by the end of the season,” Slot said.

The goalkeeper felt muscle discomfort in his right thigh during a training session held in March, which led to him being withdrawn from the Brazilian National Team squad on the eve of the friendlies against France and Croatia.

Alisson is racing against time to be fit for the World Cup, which begins in June. The squad list for the Brazilian National Team, now coached by Carlo Ancelotti, will be announced on May 18.

Brazil are in Group C of the World Cup. The group also includes Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland.

Brazil’s debut will be on June 13 against Morocco in New Jersey. Six days later, on June 19, the team will face Haiti in Philadelphia. The Seleção will wrap up their group-stage campaign on the 24th against Scotland in Miami.
