Another Blow for Liverpool: Key Player to Miss Champions League Quarter-Final and Crucial Manchester City Clash
The 33-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper sustained an injury during Liverpool's 4-0 victory over Galatasaray in the Champions League last-16 second leg last month. The Reds are set to face Manchester City on Saturday and will then meet reigning European champions PSG at Paris' Parc des Princes on Wednesday, with the return leg scheduled six days later.
"He won't be available for the PSG matches either. He'll be out for a bit longer. We expect him to be fit again towards the end of the season," Slot stated regarding Alisson, according to AFP.
However, Swedish striker Alexander Isak could make at least a cameo appearance against City, having returned to training after fracturing his foot in December. "It will still take some time before he gets a lot of minutes. We'll ensure we proceed correctly concerning his game load, but it's very good that he's back in training. It would be even better if he were ready for matches, that's for sure," Slot commented on Isak.
Mohamed Salah is set to feature after limping off against Galatasaray and subsequently missing Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Brighton before the international break. The Egyptian announced last week that he would be leaving Anfield after the season.
