Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has confirmed goalkeeper Alisson Becker is set to be sidelined for several weeks with a hamstring injury.

Alisson was substituted in the 56th minute of Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray on Tuesday, having appeared to pick up the injury after racing back to make a save from Victor Osimhen.

He will now miss Saturday’s trip to Chelsea, with Georgia international Giorgi Mamardashvili — who signed for Liverpool in the summer of 2024 but spent last season on loan at Valencia — set to deputise in his absence.
