Liverpool fans concerned by ‘sickening’ Alisson moment v Colombia – ‘Scary’

Alisson Becker is a key player for Liverpool in their pursuit of the Premier League title.

The Brazilian is widely regarded as the best goalkeeper in the world and will be crucial to the Reds’ chances of retaining their commanding lead at the summit in the final two months of the campaign.

However, supporters were left concerned after an incident that occurred while the 32-year-old was on international duty with Brazil.

Alisson involved in scary moment away from Liverpool

The Reds stopper was forced off in the 77th minute of the 2-1 win over Colombia and Arne Slot will be sweating over his status for the clash with Everton on 2 April.

The 71-cap international was involved in an awful collision with former Tottenham defender Davidson Sanchez as he tried to claim the ball.

The two-time Premier League Golden Glove winner reportedly felt dizzy and had ear pain after the incident, but the Brazil team doctor claimed that he reported no fainting and no memory loss and will undergo tests in the next few days.

Liverpool fans in meltdown after Alisson collision

It is safe to say that Reds supporters hate international breaks as their players seem to always come back with problems.

Alisson joins Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate on the list of Anfield stars that have emerged with problems after linking up with their country, although the seriousness of those issues is unknown at the moment.

The good news is that if the Brazilian does miss any matches, Liverpool have a reliable backup in Caoimhin Kelleher to see them through until he is back without a significant downgrade.

The Irishman stepped up to the plate earlier in the season when the veteran was absent with a hamstring injury suffered in the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

That form attracted interest from the likes of Newcastle and Leeds United, and the 25-year-old looks set to leave Merseyside in the summer transfer window to seek a regular first-team berth with the impending arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili at Anfield.

Hopefully, Alisson just misses the next international game and then is back and ready to go against the Toffees.

But if he is not, Reds supporters do not need to worry as Kelleher is more than capable of keeping their title charge intact.
