Alisson will miss Brazil’s international friendlies against France and Croatia next week after the goalkeeper was ruled out due to injury, the Brazilian Football Federation said on Friday.
Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti had included Alisson in the squad announced on Thursday, but the Liverpool goalkeeper will be replaced by Corinthians’ Hugo Souza, the federation added.
Brazil will play France on March 26 and Croatia on March 31 in Boston and Orlando respectively.
Alisson, 33, will also sit out Liverpool’s trip to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, with Giorgi Mamardashvili expected to start in goal, according to the Liverpool echo.
Alisson has struggled with injuries this season and missed the Champions League first leg against Galatasaray in the last 16 on March 10, although he played in the previous two games.
He also missed eight Liverpool games between October and November due to a hamstring problem.
Liverpool sit fifth in the Premier League with 49 points and are aiming for a top-four finish amid fierce competition.
