Arne Slot confirms Alisson Becker’s absence and expected comeback

Alisson Becker has been missing from Liverpool action since the end of the international break and we’ve finally been handed a more tangible update.

Speaking with the BBC (via liverpoolfc.com), Arne Slot provided an update on the stopper: “Yes, he did [not pass the concussion protocol].

“There’s a week to go [until the next match] so that gives us a bit of time.

“But you know as Liverpool we always follow the protocol in moments like this when it’s a concussion. If you haven’t ticked all the boxes, he can’t be in goal.
