Why isn’t Alisson playing for Liverpool vs PSG in Champions League quarter-final first leg?

The Reds are currently facing a major injury crisis.

The first leg of the Champions League 2025-26 quarterfinal between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool will take place at the Parc des Princes tonight.

Luis Enrique’s team enters the match in outstanding form, having won their last four games across all competitions, including victories over Chelsea at home and away in the previous round, securing an 8-2 aggregate and advancing to the quarterfinals.

In contrast, Arne Slot’s side have won only once in their last five games across all competitions due to recent struggles. The squad’s depth and tenacity are being put to the test at the wrong moment due to the absence of important players.

Once again, the Reds will be without one of their crucial player in this high-stakes match when they travel to Parc des Princes in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal fixture.

Why isn’t Alisson playing for Liverpool vs PSG in Champions League quarter-final first leg?

Alisson Becker has sustained a major injury that will keep him out for a significant portion of the remaining season.

So, one of Liverpool’s most dependable players will be absent for some crucial games.

Liverpool’s first-choice goalkeeper is sidelined until the end of April as the team enters this match with a plethora of injuries. Giorgi Mamardashvili will start in the net for the Reds.

This is a major misfortune for the club, which is already embroiled in injuries as they hope to salvage their season. The Champions League remains the only trophy that could revive Liverpool’s hope of finishing the season with a trophy.
