LiverpoolNot training, still out
Alisson (strain) is out for Saturday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Arne Slot. "Alisson not yet, doesn't train with us yet, but very close to."
Analysis: Alisson is still going to remain sidelined due to his strain, as the goalie is yet to join training with his club. This brings some worry, as with only three games left in the season, the Brazilians' chances of returning keep getting slimmer. There is no doubt they don't want to rush him back as he prepares for the World Cup, but they will still hope a return to training is near, and he can feature in the final two games of the season.
Not training Wednesday
Allison (strain) was absent from Wednesday's training session as he continued to work on his recovery, Paul Gorst of the Liverpool Echo reports.
Analysis: Allison has been sidelined since mid-March, and his status remains in doubt for Saturday's match against Chelsea. If he continues to miss training sessions, he'll likely remain out for another week and would play two more games this season in the best-case scenario. With Giorgi Mamardashvili (knee) unavailable as he deals with an injury as well, Freddie Woodman may have another chance to feature in Allison's absence.
Another game out
Alisson (strain) is out for Sunday's match against Manchester United. "And Alisson [Becker] hasn't trained with us yet, so that makes it quite simple. We're hoping for him to be ready next week, but we have to wait and see how the week will go."
Analysis: Alisson was already unlikely to face United and will miss out altogether, as the goalie is still absent from the clean sheet. This is unfortunate for the club as they need to win this match for UCL placement, leaving Freddie Woodman to start in net yet again. He will now look to return next match, with only three games left this season.
Unlikely against Manchester United
Allison (undisclosed) didn't train with the squad yet and is unlikely to be available for Sunday's clash against Manchester United, according to coach Arne Slot. "Ali hasn't trained with us yet. [He is] very close to training with us, I have to hear today from the medical staff if he is able to train today or either tomorrow or otherwise the start of next week. He is very close but of course, also we don't want to take any risks, because that's never what you do with a player and that's also not what we do now. "I think there's a difference between a goalkeeper and a player. If a player hasn't trained for a few weeks, players need to run much more than goalkeepers do."
Analysis: Alisson has been out since mid-March with a muscular injury, and the club is taking a careful approach instead of rushing him back before he is fully ready to go. Freddie Woodman is in line to keep starting between the posts until both Alisson and Giorgi Mamardashvili (knee) are back in action, leaving Liverpool without their top-choice goalkeeping options for at least another week if the Brazilian is ruled out.
Out to face Palace
Allison (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Allison has been unable to pass his late fitness test despite coach Arne Slot describing him as close to a return earlier in the week, with Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace coming too soon after his absence stretching back to mid-March. The club had been cautious about rushing the Brazilian goalkeeper back before he was genuinely ready, and the final call after Friday's session went against him. Freddie Woodman is set to start between the posts, with Giorgi Mamardashvili (knee) also unavailable for several weeks due to an injury, leaving Liverpool without their first-choice options in goal.
Close to return, late call Saturday
Allison (undisclosed) is close to returning to play and is a late call for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace, according to coach Arne Slot. "Ali is close to a return to play, so let's see if tomorrow comes too early, yes or no."
Analysis: Allison has been sidelined since mid-March, making coach Slot's upbeat assessment a significant improvement from recent updates. The Brazilian goalkeeper's availability for Saturday will be determined after Friday's session, with the club clearly not wanting to rush him back before he is genuinely ready. If Allison cannot be cleared in time, Freddie Woodman is set to start between the posts against Palace with Giorgi Mamardashvili (knee) also unavailable for several weeks.
Unlikely for Tuesday
Allison (undisclosed) still needs more time to fully recover from his injury, as coach Arne Slot mentioned after Saturday's 2-0 win over Fulham "Tuesday I don't expect him. He's not training with the team yet, but he's working very hard on his recovery, so we hope to have him back in the near future. But he doesn't train with the team yet, so he will not be performing [on] Tuesday".
Analysis: Allison has already missed four club games with the issue he picked up in mid-March, and it seems he'll continue to work toward a return in the derby against Everton on April 19. Until the Brazilian is fit, Giorgi Mamardashvili should continue to guard the Reds' goal.
Working hard, not ready yet
Alisson (undisclosed) is making positive progress in his recovery but will not be available yet to feature, according to coach Arne Slot. "Alisson is working hard to find his way back to the squad, so that's really positive, but he will not be in the squad this weekend."
Analysis: Alisson has now missed the the last three games across all competitions due to injury, with Giorgi Mamardashvili continuing to hold down the starting role between the posts. The Brazilian's return is still a few weeks away, but the upbeat tone from coach Slot is an encouraging sign that the end of his absence is drawing closer. Liverpool will be hoping to have their number one back in the fold for the final stretch of what has been a difficult season for the club.
Eyeing end of April return
Alisson (undisclosed) has avoided a new injury and is eyeing a return to play near the end of April, the goalie posted to his X account.
Analysis: Alisson is still in recovery and has not suffered a further injury, as the goalie is now eyeing a return to play near the end of April. Unfortunately, it does then appear he will miss out on both legs of their massive UCL contest against PSG, leaving Giorgi Mamardashvili to start in net for the time being. The club will be happy to have a keeper who would start in most teams as their backup, although they will await the return of the world-class Brazilian moving forward.
Out for PSG, targets late return
Alisson (undisclosed) will miss the upcoming Champions League clash against PSG and is not expected back until towards the end of the season, according to coach Arne Slot. "He will not be part of the Paris Saint-Germain games as well. He will be out for a bit longer. Towards the end of the season we expect him to be fit again."
Analysis: Alisson has now been ruled out of multiple consecutive fixtures, making this a significant blow for Liverpool as they head into the final stretch of the campaign. The Brazilian shot-stopper had already flagged a setback on social media, and manager Arne Slot's comments confirm the absence will stretch further than initially hoped. Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to continue between the posts in his absence, with the Georgian keeper now tasked with holding things down through what could be Liverpool's most important run of games of the season.
Could miss long time
Alisson (undisclosed) is set for the sidelined and will be out for a while, he posted on his instagram. "Unfortunately I'll be out of action for a while. Already working hard to be back stronger. Thank you for the support."
Analysis: Alisson suffered another injury that will keep him sidelined for a while, with the goalie sharing the update on his Instagram story. That raises some real concern because his comment seems to hint at a potentially lengthy absence, which would be a major blow for the Reds with big fixtures against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League coming up. Until the Brazilian is fully fit and back in the mix, Giorgi Mamardashvili looks set to hold down the starting job between the posts.
Won't play vs. Brighton
Alisson won't play Saturday against Brighton due to an undisclosed injury, according to Paul Joyce of The Times.
Analysis: Alisson started against Galatasaray in midweek, but this latest setback means he will also miss out on playing for Brazil in the international break. This means Giorgi Mamardashvili will get the nod against the Seagulls this weekend.
Single save in win
Alisson made one save and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 4-0 victory against Galatasaray.
Analysis: Alisson didn't have much to do to earn the clean sheet Wednesday, he saved a single shot and watched the team in front of him control the match. The goalkeeper has been excellent individually but the team in front of him has let him down at times. When he gets support in front of him he remains one of the best in any competition.
Six saves for draw
Alisson registered six saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Alisson seemed set to backstop an important win before a late equalizer left him with the loss despite a very good showing. He stopped six of the seven shots he faced and was only beaten in the dying minutes. It's another day to forget in a season full of days to forget for Alisson and Liverpool, as they turn back towards the Champions League.
Starts in net
Alisson (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Tottenham.
Analysis: Alisson was likely to return Sunday, and that has come to fruition, with the goalie starting in his typical spot in net. This is massive news for the club as they gain back the Brazilian, who should remain in net moving forward, starting in all 25 appearances this season while recording eight clean sheets.
Could be available Sunday
Alisson (muscular) is expected to train with the team Friday and could be an option for Sunday's clash against Tottenham, according to coach Arne Slot. "He's been with the physios and with rehab until now. We are training today as you know, so let's see if he can join the team session today. That is something I expect but I'm not 100 per cent sure yet because I haven't spoken to him or the medical staff this morning yet. I'm hopeful but that's not to say I'm 100 per cent sure. He felt something when he passed the ball in one of his muscles. But after we checked it, it was so minor that we think it doesn't have to take very long. But as always, games follow up so fast that he had to miss the one against Galatasaray, and hopefully he's available and ready for Sunday. If not, I'm expecting him - if things go as planned - definitely against Galatasaray."
Analysis: Alisson is expected to return to full team training Friday and could have a shot at making the matchday squad for Sunday's clash with Tottenham depending on how he feels. Liverpool's starting goalkeeper has been working with the physios throughout the week, though coach Arne Slot remains optimistic about having him available against Spurs. If Alisson proves fit, he will regain his spot between the posts, otherwise Giorgi Mamardashvili is likely to get the nod once again.
Not in UCL squad
Alisson (undisclosed) is ruled out for Tuesday's Champions League first leg against Galatasaray due to an apparent fitness issue sustained in training, the club announced.
Analysis: Alisson is not in the squad for Tuesday's Champions League first leg against Galatasaray due to an apparent fitness issue sustained in training. The Brazilian will undergo further tests in the coming days to determine the severity of the issue. The goalkeeper is an undisputed starter, so his absence could be felt, with Giorgi Mamardashvili likely to start in goal in his place.
Single save in loss
Alisson had one save and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Alisson faced three shots and stopped only one of them, leaving him with the loss during Tuesday's clash. It's another forgettable performance in a season to forget for Alisson and Liverpool, who have struggled in equal part. The team in front of him has done little to pick Alisson up, and he's let in some goals he'd want back.
Three saves in win
Alisson registered three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 5-2 win versus West Ham United.
Analysis: Alisson faced five shots and stopped three of them during Saturday's win. The goalkeeper got five goals of support from the team in front of him, and that was enough to keep the match firmly in hand, despite two disappointing goals allowed in the second half.
Two saves for clean sheet
Alisson recorded two saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Alisson stopped both shots he faced and came away with a well-earned clean sheet during Sunday's win. The goalkeeper was excellent in limited action during Sunday's clash and earned the clean sheet with a couple nice saves. The limited volume he faces means Alisson can be a volatile option in any given match.
