Alisson Becker to miss Brazil's friendly matches in March, confirms Dorival Júnior

Brazil will face England in the March international break

After providing an update on the Liverpool custodian, Brazil’s national team manager hinted that Alisson Becker might be sidelined for at least the next month.

Before Wednesday’s match against Luton, Jurgen Klopp announced that the Brazilian No. 1 would be sidelined for the “foreseeable” future due to injury. He had missed their 4-1 triumph over Brentford.

As a result, Caoimhin Kelleher will start in his place for their Carabao Cup final against Chelsea this coming Saturday. It now appears that Brazil’s manager, Dorival Junior, will be without the custodian for at least the next month.

Fabrizio Romano, in a conversation with TNT Sports, stated that Alisson will not be able to make it back before time runs out for their friendly against Spain on March 24 and England on March 23.

He also said that Matheus Cunha of Wolves and Joao Pedro of Brighton will not be playing in the games. He may potentially miss some important matches for Liverpool in all competitions if he misses those games.

During the March international break, Liverpool will play matches at Goodison Park against Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, and Everton, the league’s top rivals.

Alisson’s availability for the first game following the break—against Brighton on March 31—is currently unknown.

Liverpool leads the Premier League standings, but they are facing a serious injury crisis that could ruin their season.

Despite making a comeback after suffering a hamstring injury against Brentford, Mohamed Salah is the latest injury concern. Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Curtis Jones all left the game due to injury.

Ten players—including vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai—may be out of the match against Luton.
