Liverpool fans will be hoping that his latest setback won't sideline him for as long, although head coach Arne Slot didn't offer much optimism when he immediately ruled Alisson out of Saturday's challenging Premier League game against Chelsea. It's telling that out of the 20 times Liverpool have faced the London side since Alisson joined the Reds in the summer of 2020, he's missed six due to injury or illness.

Mamardashvili has already sampled English soccer with a solid performance in the League Cup victory over Southampton at Anfield last midweek, and was scarcely called upon during his substitute appearance in Istanbul as Liverpool pressed without any significant intent for an equalizer.

Should Alisson continue his absence for the League Cup encounter with Crystal Palace in a month's time, there's a possibility that third-choice Freddie Woodman could be deployed between the posts, given Slot's methodology last season when, with Alisson sidelined and Kelleher as first choice, Vitezslav Jaros was granted a debut start in the 3-2 triumph at Brighton in the corresponding round. During his 25 Premier League outings, the Republic of Ireland international emerged victorious 17 times, recording six stalemates and just two losses, though the latter arrived in his final Liverpool appearance at Fulham in April.
