Alisson has been ruled out for Liverpool’s trip to Chelsea, meaning his injury record will surpass 55 games missed for the club. The Brazilian was quickly ruled out of Liverpool’s final game before the international break as Arne Slot explained “it’s never positive if you go off like this” after the defeat at Galatasaray.

When sidelined with another hamstring injury early last season, Slot spoke of how the club were looking to get to the bottom of Alisson‘s uncommon relationship with injuries. “But that’s not what you see a lot, so these two are more an exception.

It is worrisome how often Alisson succumbs to muscle injuries, with his number of games missed equivalent to missing the entirety of last season (56 games), but in Mamardashvili they have his successor. It is expected to be a formality, but his unusual injury record will be factored into Slot’s plans.
