Liverpool have been dealt a crucial injury blow with goalkeeper Alisson Becker expected to miss six weeks of football.
The Brazil No.1 came off injured during a 1-0 Champions League defeat to Galatasaray in the 56th minute having just made a stellar stop on goalscorer Victor Osimhen.
Alisson was an unexpected early sub against GalaGettyHe was replaced by highly-rated summer signing Giorgi Mamardashvili, which should ease some fears, but Alisson has arguably been the Reds stand-out player this term.
Such a timeline means that the keeper would miss an incredibly crucial run of fixtures through October and November.
Liverpool play eight times during that period, with two of those games in the Premier League against title rivals Manchester City and Chelsea.
They also have two Champions League matches, including a showdown at Anfield with record European champions Real Madrid.
In the Carabao Cup, Arne Slot’s men face Crystal Palace, a team Liverpool have lost to twice already this season.
Reacting to the news, Ally McCoist said: “That’s a blow. I think he’s the best goalkeeper out of all of them, so that will be a blow.
“I think him and Virgil van Dijk are the two players they can’t do without.
“Mo Salah is obviously out of this world, one of the best players on the planet, but I think Van Dijk and the goalkeeper are vital for them.”
