Liverpool also faces Brighton in the Carabao Cup, but Caoimhin Kelleher played in the last round.
He was substituted in the second half of Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday. Vítezslav Jaros, 23, made his Premier League debut and kept a clean sheet after regular No. 2 Kelleher was unavailable due to sickness.
Alisson is a major miss for Liverpool as the Premier League’s finest goalkeeper.
Kelleher arrived in time to join the Republic of Ireland squad for the October international break. Reported By Sky Sports.
“Liverpool have a crucial run of games coming up, with back-to-back league games against Chelsea and Arsenal following the October international break. Arne Slot’s team will play some of the most in-form attackers in those games, including Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer, so losing Alisson for the next month is a significant blow.
“The Brazilian has made big saves in crucial moments for Liverpool over the years, but Alisson’s greatest strength has been his consistency.
“Despite the fact that the season is still in its early stages, Alisson is statistically the best goalkeeper in the division. Liverpool’s solid defensive block under Slot means he hasn’t faced many high-quality shots, but when he is needed, he is incredibly dependable.
“This is why Alisson has only allowed two Premier League goals this season. David Raya of Arsenal and Mats Selz of Nottingham Forest have the next best records, each with six.
