Alisson on track to miss Liverpool’s weekend clash in major injury blow for Reds

 

Arne Slot has verified that Alisson exacerbated a pre-existing muscular injury during Liverpool’s Champions League victory in Milan on Tuesday and has subsequently missed training.


Arne Slot has disclosed that Alisson would be out for Saturday’s home match against Bournemouth if he is unable to train on Friday.

Alisson exacerbated a pre-existing muscular injury during Liverpool’s Champions League victory in Milan on Tuesday and has been absent from training.


 

Slot is observing the Brazilian’s condition, and Caoimhin Kelleher is prepared to substitute for him in goal should he fail to recuperate in time for the match against Bournemouth. The Liverpool head coach stated, “Alisson remains uncertain.” “If he is able to train today, and if he is not, he is unlikely to participate in the game.”

 

“He is experiencing a minor muscular issue, and we are uncertain if tomorrow’s game is premature.” He did not experience it during the Milan match; it occurred prior, but he felt it increasingly during the Milan game.Slot maintained that Darwin Nunez’s confidence is intact, despite his failure to secure a starting position following his remarkable performance at the Copa America.

 

Slot indicates that Nunez, who has not netted for Liverpool since April 4, is contending with Diogo Jota for the Reds’ No. 9 position, with the Portuguese player now in a slight lead.

 

“No, he returned from the Copa America with considerable confidence,” he stated. “He is entitled to it, as he scored goals wherever he went.” Provided he contributes well to the team, I am entirely confident he will succeed.His experience mirrors that of others; diligent effort will ultimately provide results. Darwin is currently more fit and comprehends our expectations more effectively; but, he is competing with Diogo, who has performed really well.

 

Slot has analyzed Bournemouth’s performance at Anfield last season, where they initially took the lead, and has observed their late resurgence to secure victory at Everton during their most recent visit to Merseyside.

 

He believes he possesses a strategy to defeat them and has instructed his players to enhance their performances by “five percent” following last Saturday’s unexpected home defeat to Nottingham Forest.He stated that there were more aspects of the game that dissatisfied us than in all the previous games.

 

I like competing against a low block since it allows me greater ball possession and positions the other team at a considerable distance from my goal.

 

“Typically, given our quality, with approximately 70 percent ball possession in and around their penalty area, one would anticipate that we would generate numerous opportunities.”

 

“It was an opportune moment for reflection and consideration of potential improvements.” While it may seem straightforward, if each player performs five percent better than they did against Nottingham Forest, which is not particularly challenging, it will result in a significant transformation. We can enhance specific aspects and must refine particular runs.
