Brazil’s national team coach, Dorival Junior, has confirmed that Alisson will be absent from Brazil’s friendly matches in March due to injury. The goalkeeper from Liverpool was originally slated to play against Brentford last weekend, but he pulled his hamstring during training and has been sidelined ever since. Dorival Junior also revealed that Matheus Cunha from Wolves and Joao Pedro from Brighton will also miss the upcoming friendly encounters due to injury. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the trio of South American players is expected to be out of action for the next four weeks, which includes an important Carabao Cup final for Liverpool against Chelsea on February 25th.
Alisson’s absence will undoubtedly be a significant blow for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. The team will be aiming to secure their first trophy of the season, and the goalkeeper’s injury will provide an opportunity for backup keeper Caoimhin Kelleher. The 25-year-old shot-stopper, hailing from Cork, has already started in Liverpool’s last two Premier League matches against Burnley and Brentford. Although he did not manage to keep a clean sheet in either game, Kelleher’s performances in goal have been solid, contributing to Liverpool’s consecutive victories and maximum points.
