Jurgen Klopp’s runaway title leaders are in isolation but the goalkeeper still has to attend physio sessions at the club’s Melwood training ground.
Fighting an injury can be lonely at the best of times but the 27-year-old is going through a whole new experience.
He took to Instagram to explain, saying :“The club’s guidance is that everyone stays at home.
“In my case it’s a little bit different, because I have an injury.
“Thank goodness, it wasn’t a very serious injury, but every injury needs care and I have continued the treatments at the training centre.
“I don’t have any contact with my teammates, as everyone is in their homes.
“The only contact I have is with the physio and the goalkeeper trainer doing some specific rehabilitation work.
“And within these situations, we also take all the necessary precautions for all recommendations, such as hand hygiene, not touching the face, not touching the mouth, nose, eyes.
“We also try to talk at a distance. Besides them, I have no contact with anyone else.”
He adds : “My routine is very defined.
“I leave the house, go to the training centre, finish the treatment, come home and stay at home in this moment of self isolation.”
Xherdan Shaqiri, Nathaniel Clyne and Yasser Larouci have also been visiting Melwood fore treatment.
But like Alisson it is a solitary process with the arrival times of all four staggered to limit interaction with each other.
