Liverpool manager Arne Slot says goalkeeper Alisson will miss the game against Chelsea on Saturday after the Brazilian was injured against Galatasaray.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 32-year-old had to be replaced by Giorgi Mamardashvili in the 56th minute of the 1-0 Champions League defeat<\/a> in Istanbul.<\/p>\n Alisson limped off after saving from goalscorer Victor Osimhen, while striker Hugo Ekitike then pulled up after stretching for the ball and also had to be replaced.<\/p>\n Slot said the Brazil international had felt something when “sprinting back”.<\/p>\n “If my player is on the floor, nine out of 10 times I fear the worst and with the worst I mean that he cannot continue,” Slot said.<\/p>\n “It’s never positive if you go off like this. You can be sure he is not playing Saturday.”<\/p>\n Mamardashvili is in line for a Premier League debut at Stamford Bridge. The Georgian was signed from Valencia in the summer for \u00a329m.<\/a><\/p>\n Alisson missed 10 Premier League games last season with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n There is also a doubt over Ekitike, who limped off during the second half.<\/p>\n “I wasn’t really thinking that we had an injury, but Hugo felt something,” Slot added.<\/p>\n “He said he couldn’t continue, so we had to take him off. Let’s see how he is for the weekend.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
