Liverpool star suffers injury ahead of Chelsea clash

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has picked up an injury ahead of the Premier League clash against Chelsea on the road on Saturday.

The Reds have had a good start to the campaign with 15 points from six matches, but they are just two points ahead of second-placed Arsenal.

Arsenal can temporarily climb to the top of the table by beating West Ham United and the onus is on the Reds to respond at Stamford Bridge.

The Merseyside giants have not won against the Blues on the road since 2020 and their challenge could become tougher with Alisson out injured.

The Brazilian picked up an apparent hamstring injury while tracking back against Galatasaray in tonight's Champions League encounter.

He was immediately replaced in goal and he is now a big doubt to face the Blues. In his absence, Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to make his debut.

The Georgian has yet to make a Premier League appearance and has the chance to make a statement on his debut against Enzo Maresca's side.
