This Saturday, Liverpool won on the pitch at Crystal Palace (1-0) and maintains a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League, ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal. However, the Reds lost their goalkeeper, Alisson (32), at the end of the match following a hamstring injury and his partners fear a long-term absence. While Virgil Van Dijk expressed his concern after the meeting, his coach, Arne Slot, was not more reassured when speaking to the media across the Channel:
“With Alisson, it’s clear he’ll be out for maybe a few weeks. Maybe this is something the FA should look at: if you’re playing on Wednesday night, why do we have an early kick-off in an away game? Or maybe they have to look at me and rotate all my players, it’s probably bad luck too, I don’t know. The positive point is that Jaros (Vitezslav Jaros, editor’s note) performed very well last season when he was on loan. He was champion and won the cup. He desperately wanted to play. In this club we need three good goalkeepers. He was exceptional today.»
