Alisson Becker’s injury during the Premier League match against Crystal Palace brings devastating news this afternoon.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker sustained a potentially serious hamstring injury during the team’s close 1-0 win against Crystal Palace, raising doubts about his availability for upcoming matches. The Brazilian shot-stopper collapsed in clear distress during the second half at Selhurst Park after attempting to play a pass from teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold. His immediate reaction and visible discomfort indicated that the injury might be serious.

According to Paul Gorst of the *Liverpool Echo*, the club is currently waiting for the results of a scan to assess the full extent of the injury and estimate how long Alisson could be out. While no official timeline has been provided, initial signs suggest a potentially lengthy recovery, which would leave Liverpool without their first-choice goalkeeper for an extended period.

In Alisson’s absence, backup goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is expected to take over the starting position. Kelleher has demonstrated his capability as a reliable substitute in previous matches, performing well in domestic cup competitions and in rare Premier League appearances. This situation presents him with a valuable opportunity to further showcase his talents, especially ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window, when a potential move for him could arise. Liverpool might also need to consider replacing Kelleher, as he has been linked with a possible exit in search of more regular first-team action.

Liverpool is reportedly considering Valencia’s highly regarded goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili as a long-term option for their goalkeeping lineup. Although initial plans indicated that Mamardashvili might join the club in 2025, speculation suggests that his arrival could be expedited if Alisson’s injury proves to be more severe. However, these rumors are unlikely to come to fruition, as Alisson is not expected to be sidelined for the entire season, and Valencia, currently fighting against relegation in La Liga, would be hesitant to lose a key player mid-season.

For now, manager Arne Slot will depend on Kelleher to maintain the goal until Alisson’s return. Meanwhile, Alisson must focus on addressing his recurring injury issues, which have affected his availability multiple times over the past few seasons. His recovery will be closely monitored as Liverpool aims to have him back on the field as soon as possible.
