Brazilian’s hamstring injury not as serious as first fearedNo 2 Kelleher could start next five games in all competitions
Jürgen Klopp has allayed Liverpool concerns that Alisson faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines and hopes the influential goalkeeper will be fit to face Manchester United on 17 December.
Liverpool feared an extended layoff for their first-choice keeper after he sustained a hamstring injury late in the 1-1 draw at Manchester City on Saturday. However, scans have shown the damage is not severe and Alisson could be out for just over a fortnight. With Caoimhín Kelleher the preferred starter for Europa League games, and Liverpool facing LASK on Thursday and Union Saint-Gilloise on 14 December, the Brazil international is likely to miss Premier League matches against Fulham, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace before returning for United’s visit to Anfield.
