Liverpool suffer another injury blow with Alisson ‘ruled out of Brentford clash due to hamstring problem’


ALISSON is set to be ruled out of Liverpool’s trip to Brentford on Saturday through injury.

The Reds goalkeeper is not expected to be involved due to a hamstring problem picked up in training this week.

His absence adds to a growing injury list for Jurgen Klopp, which now stands at eight.

Those include similar issues for Thiago and Dominik Szoboszlai as well as an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

However, Mohamed Salah is back in contention for the away clash with the Bees, Klopp has confirmed.

He will be without his first-choice keeper, though, who has remained on Merseyside for further checks.

Caoimhin Kelleher is instead expected to start in goal for the Reds at the Gtech Community Stadium.

It is currently unknown whether Alisson will be fit to return at home to Luton in midweek.

Alisson missed three matches earlier this season due to a similar injury sustained against Manchester City in November.

Meanwhile, he was also forced out of last weekend’s win over Burnley with flu before returning to training.
