Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed on Friday that goalkeeper Alisson Becker will be out until the final stages of the season.
Slot’s side are without first-choice keeper Alisson as they enter the final two months of the season, with the Brazilian sidelined due to injury.
“We expect him to be fit by the end of the season,” said Slot.
The 33-year-old last played at home in the Champions League round of 16 second leg against Galatasaray before missing the subsequent Premier League defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion dsfbgds.
Striker Alexander Isak returns to the team after missing more than three months due to a broken leg.
«It would definitely be too soon to expect him in the starting line-up. «He trained with us for the first time yesterday… after exactly 101 days,» the manager added.
Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili is likely to start in goal for the FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City on Saturday.
Liverpool have lost both Premier League games against City this season, but Slot said the improved performance in February’s 2-1 home defeat showed his team can be competitive against Pep Guardiola’s side.
«In the first half at Anfield, City dominated possession… how impressive was it that we dominated possession in the second half? Because how many teams can dominate possession against City?» Slot asked.
«Now we also have to show this in their stadium, which is more difficult than having 60,000 people at Anfield helping you.»
