Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker was forced off with an injury sustained while making a routine save during a 1-0 loss at Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday as the Premier League champions slumped to back-to-back defeats for just the second time under Arne Slot.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot says goalkeeper Alisson will miss the game against Chelsea on Saturday after the Brazilian was injured against Galatasaraay.

Liverpool coach Arne Slot confirmed goalkeeper Alisson Becker will miss this weekend's clash with Chelsea after suffering an injury in his team's loss to Galatasaray.

Alisson Becker kept Liverpool in the game versus Galatasaray, and in doing so had to leave the UEFA Champions League contest on Tuesday.

Arne Slot says Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker will miss Saturday’s trip to Chelsea after going off injured in the 1-0 Champions League defeat away to Galatasaray. Victor Osimhen’s first-half penalty proved the difference, with Alisson forced off after injuring himself saving from the Nigeria international in the second half.

Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the season as they slipped to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Crystal Palace, who now stand alone as the only undefeated side in the Premier League this season. Arne Slot’s Reds were second best for the majority of the match as Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah proved to be the difference makers at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.

Chiesa was electric throughout, forcing the opener when he pounced on Alex McCarthy’s mistake to set up Alexander Isak for his first Liverpool goal, before being found behind the Saints’ defence and teeing up Hugo Ekitike for what proved the winner.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk slammed his team-mates after a frustrating loss to Crystal Palace but the Dutchman thanked Alisson for keeping the score down, while hailing the Brazilian as the "best goalkeeper in the world".
