Liverpool’s quest for victory in the upcoming clash against Brentford has hit a hurdle as goalkeeper Alisson Becker is set to miss out due to a recurring hamstring injury suffered in training, leaving manager Jurgen Klopp grappling with selection woes.
Despite Klopp’s earlier optimism regarding Alisson’s availability for the pivotal encounter against the Bees, the Brazilian shot-stopper encountered a setback during Friday’s training session, exacerbating the same hamstring issue that sidelined him in the previous match against Burnley.
With Alisson ruled out, Caoimhin Kelleher is poised to fill in between the posts once again, reprising his role from the Burnley fixture. Klopp, now facing a defensive conundrum, must navigate the absence of key players such as Dominik Szoboszlai and Trent Alexander-Arnold, compounding the challenges posed by long-term absences of midfield duo Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic.
Despite the setbacks, Liverpool received a significant boost with the return of Mohamed Salah to the squad following his injury sustained while on duty with Egypt at AFCON, providing a timely injection of firepower for Klopp’s side.
Alisson’s absence adds to the disruptions faced by Liverpool this season, with the Brazilian having already missed four league matches. Klopp will be eager to minimize further setbacks as Liverpool aims to conclude the campaign on a high note, aiming to improve upon last season’s fifth-placed finish.
