Alisson’s Injury Update & Agent Dismisses Exit Rumors
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is making progress in his recovery from a long-term hamstring injury. The 31-year-old has been sidelined for a month due to the issue and has missed six games so far. Unfortunately, the injury ruled him out of contention for Brazil’s upcoming friendlies against England and Spain, and he is set to miss important matches against Man City, Sparta Prague, and Man United for his club.
However, there is hope that Alisson will be back in action for the Premier League clash against Brighton on March 31. The Brazilian shot-stopper is currently undergoing rehabilitation to regain his fitness. Throughout his time out, Alisson has remained relatively low-key, not even traveling with the team for the Carabao Cup final, unlike other injured players such as Joel Matip.
In a rare update, Alisson shared a post on his Instagram story showing him working on an exercise bike. This glimpse into his recovery process indicates that he is making progress towards full fitness. Fans are eagerly waiting for his return to the pitch.
Amidst Alisson’s recovery, there were bizarre rumors emerging linking him with a return to his boyhood club, Internacional. However, his agent, Ze Maria, dismissed these speculations, stating that a move would be “impossible” as there had been no contact regarding a transfer. It comes as no surprise that Alisson would remain committed to Liverpool, as he is still under contract with the club until 2027.
Despite the upcoming change in management at Anfield, it is unlikely that Jurgen Klopp’s successor will choose a different first-choice goalkeeper over Alisson. The Brazilian has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and has yet to reach his peak. Liverpool is fortunate to have a reliable second-choice goalkeeper in Caoimhin Kelleher, who has performed admirably in Alisson’s absence.
Kelleher has kept clean sheets in each of his last three games prior to the Europa League clash against Sparta Prague. He has conceded only three goals in six outings during Alisson’s layoff. With Kelleher’s solid performances, Liverpool can rely on him until Alisson returns.
In conclusion, Alisson’s recovery from his hamstring injury is progressing well, and there is hope that he will be back on the pitch soon. Despite rumors of a potential transfer, his agent dismissed them, emphasizing Alisson’s commitment to Liverpool. With a reliable second-choice goalkeeper in Kelleher, Liverpool can navigate through Alisson’s absence. Fans eagerly await Alisson’s return as they anticipate his contribution to the team’s success.
