FC Liverpool is expected to do without goalkeeper Alisson. This was confirmed by Reds coach Arne Slot on Friday, two days after the 33-year-old Brazilian had to be replaced at the surprising 0-1 in the Champions League at Galatasaray for a thigh injury. In the 56th minute, the Georgian national goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili came for Alisson and is now given the chance for the first time to correctly challenge his opponents for 30 million euros.
“We knew that we signed a very good goalkeeper,” said Slot about the 25 -year -old Mamardashvili. “Now he can do what Caoimhín Kelleher had to do so often in the past and replace Alisson.” The Irish national goalkeeper (26) switched to FC Brentford for 14.8 million euros in summer after he had been number two between the posts of the Liverpool since 2019 and kept his box clean 24 times. His departure took place because Mamardashvili has been part of the squad of the English master after a one -year direct reorganization to FC Valencia.
At FC Chelsea on Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m., the EM participant from 2024 now waves the Premier League debut after sniffing royal class for the Reds for 34 minutes and previously used in the EFL Cup in 2-1 against Southampton. Slot praised: “I think we saw against Southampton how well he settled in.” It is best to see that in the first game that a player is playing. “I think we saw in this game that he really got used to our goal, which is no surprise because he is a first -class goalkeeper.”
At Alisson, it was initially hoped that he might be fit against Chelsea again, the next stand was then: after the international break, he will come back. However, Slot dampened expectations: “It would surprise me if Alisson were ready for the first game after the international break.”
