With Alisson uncertain for Liverpool’s conflict with Bournemouth, the goalkeeper’s damage file doesn’t evaluate favourably to his Premier League friends.
Forward of the go to of Bournemouth to Anfield, Arne Slot revealed that Alisson was thought of a doubt after choosing up a muscle concern.
“We surprise if this recreation is coming too early or not,” the top coach instructed reporters on Friday.
“I feel he didn’t take it from the Milan recreation, it occurred a bit earlier than, however after he felt increasingly more.
“Now we’ve to attend and see if he’s able to be in aim tomorrow or we’ve to attend a number of further days.”
The suggestion is that the damage, believed to be a decent hamstring, got here both throughout Brazil obligation or within the aftermath of an extended journey again from South America.
Both manner, it’s one other concern for Liverpool to cope with with regards to their No. 1, with Caoimhin Kelleher readily available to deputise having achieved so on 26 events final season.
Issues over Alisson‘s damage historical past are warranted, with statistics through Transfermarkt displaying that no different prime Premier League goalkeeper has a worse file than the 31-year-old.

Alisson has missed a complete of 40 video games for Liverpool over the earlier 5 seasons, with six completely different accidents and 4 diseases.
The following-closest is Nick Pope, who missed 34 video games for Burnley and Newcastle, with 5 accidents and one sickness, whereas Robert Sanchez missed 32 video games with three accidents and one sickness over spells with Rochdale, Brighton and now Chelsea.

Remarkably, Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez has solely missed one recreation by means of damage since 2019/20, although he has solely been an everyday starter prior to now 4 seasons.
Equally robust are the damage data of Man United‘s Andre Onana, Tottenham‘s Guglielmo Vicario and Everton‘s Jordan Pickford.
Whereas goalkeepers are nonetheless prone to health points – and naturally, sickness – it’s worrying how typically Alisson finds himself sidelined.
That’s notably the case given a rise in muscle accidents in recent times, and notably his hamstrings.
Liverpool have already signed his eventual alternative in Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will be a part of Slot’s squad subsequent season after a last marketing campaign with Valencia.
However Alisson has expressed his want to fulfil his present contract, which runs till 2026 with an possibility to increase by an additional 12 months, and even signal new phrases past that.
Whereas he stays arguably the perfect goalkeeper in world soccer, Alisson‘s damage historical past will undoubtedly have been thought of as Liverpool sought to signal Mamardashvili in a deal value £29 million.
And it might be factored into plans transferring ahead, with it clear that his file is irregular amongst goalkeepers.
