Liverpool face a major concern after Alisson Becker was forced off injured in their Champions League clash with Galatasaray. The 32-year-old goalkeeper was substituted in the 56th minute, with summer signing Giorgi Mamardashvili replacing him for his Champions League debut.

Alisson appeared to suffer the injury while saving from Victor Osimhen in a one-on-one situation, having already made three saves earlier in the game. He was unable to stop Osimhen’s 16th-minute penalty that gave Galatasaray the lead.
The Brazilian’s setback comes just days before Liverpool’s Premier League trip to Chelsea, raising fears over his availability. Mamardashvili, who joined from Valencia for £29m, could now be in line for his first Premier League start at Stamford Bridge.

Alisson has endured repeated injury troubles during his Reds career, missing 17 matches last season. Despite this, he remains Liverpool’s undisputed first-choice goalkeeper under Arne Slot, with any absence set to be a significant blow.
