Alisson Becker looks set for yet another lengthy spell on the sidelines.The Reds have had a very difficult week in terms of results, with their perfect start to the season being ruined by back-to-back defeats.First it was a 2-1 defeat in the league to Crystal Palace, then a 1-0 loss away to Galatasaray in the Champions League, with the latter coming at a very hefty cost.Not only did they lose, but goalkeeper Alisson was forced off with an injury, something that has become all too familiar for Reds fans. The extent was not yet known but Arne Slot confirmed he would miss Saturday’s game against Chelsea, but now it is clear that he will be out for a little while longer.Photo by Hakan Akgun/Anadolu via Getty ImagesAlisson to miss six weeks for LiverpoolTaking a goalkeeper off is never a good sign, especially when Alisson is involved and he has a muscle problem.

Reds fans will have been fearing the worst and it appears as if it is not just a minor injury, although the international break has come at a fairly good time.According to David Ornstein at The Athletic, Alisson will be out for around six weeks due to a hamstring injury, with the Brazilian having his scan on Thursday.This means he will miss some crucial fixtures, including games against Manchester United, Real Madrid and Manchester City.READ MORE: Liverpool could have the next Ryan Gravenberch coming through and Arne Slot already loves himLiverpool have not yet made an official announcement, but Slot is expected to do so during his pre-match press conference on Friday morning.Alisson was already confirmed to be left out of the Brazil squad for their friendlies against South Korea and Japan, although that was expected no matter the severity as no risks need to be taken.The Brazilian has been nothing short of sensational for the Reds so far this season, meaning that his absence will be a very big blow.Giorgi Mamardashvili will get his chance to shineAlisson often spends at least a few weeks a season out injured, with this meaning that Caoimhin Kelleher used to get the chance to show what he could do.Now that the Irishman has gone, the baton has been passed on to Georgian shot-stopper Giorgi Mamardashvili, with this being his chance to get a decent run of games under his belt.He has already featured a few times in pre-season and in the game against Southampton in the Carabao Cup, with the 25-year-old proving to be a safe pair of hands.If the start of the season is anything to go by, he will be very busy, meaning that he will need to be sharp from the off if he is to fill the very big void left by Alisson.
