Liverpool’s Alisson likely to be out for six weeks

LONDON: Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is expected to be sidelined for around six weeks with a hamstring injury, which would rule him out of matches against Chelsea and Arsenal.

The 32-year-old Brazil international was hurt during last weekend’s 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace and went off late in the second half. Reports in the British press say tests have shown Alisson is not likely to be fit to play until after next month’s international break. That would mean the first match he would potentially be available for would be the trip to Southampton on November 24.
