'Unfortunately, I'll be out of for a while': Liverpool's Becker provides fresh injury update

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker provides a fresh injury update, indicating a lengthy spell out. Another blow after Mohamed Salah's injury ahead of Brighton clash.

"Unfortunately, I'll be out of action for a while. Already working hard to be back stronger. - Alisson Becker"

Liverpool, March 21

English football club Liverpool has dealt with another blow as their goalkeeper Alisson Becker has sparked fears that he could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines as he provided a fresh update about his injury ahead of the team's Premier League clash to be played against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.

Alison recently missed the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 match against Galatasaray in Istanbul with what was described as a minor muscle issue, but he returned for both the Premier League games with Tottenham Hotspur and the 4-0 second leg victory over the Turkish side at Anfield on Wednesday. But the goalkeeper was absent from the squad that travelled to the south coast on Friday.

Alisson shared the update on his recovery through an Instagram story where the Brazilian star thanked the fans for the support but also indicated a long rest time.

"Unfortunately, I'll be out of action for a while. Already working hard to be back stronger. Thank you for the support," he wrote in an Instagram story.

This is the second blow to the Reds ahead of their important match, as earlier Mohammad Salah was also ruled out due to a muscle injury.

Salah picked up the issue during Liverpool's recent UEFA Champions League match against Galatasaray at Anfield. The Egyptian forward was substituted in the second half despite delivering an impressive performance in the 4-0 win, where he registered both a goal and an assist.

Liverpool head into the Brighton match in fifth place in the Premier League standings, as they continue their push for a top-four finish, which will confirm their slot for the UEFA Champions League 2026-27. They are currently two points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa and five points adrift of Manchester United, who sit in third.

As a neutral fan from India, it's sad to see such great players injured. The Premier League is less exciting without its stars. Hope he recovers soon. The schedule is just too punishing these days.

Yikes! The timing couldn't be worse. The medical team needs to be questioned. Why was he rushed back against Spurs if it was a risk? Now we pay the price. Top 4 is slipping away.

Feel so bad for him. He's been our rock. Injuries are part of the game, but losing your best goalkeeper is a different kind of problem. Time for the squad to step up. Jürgen will find a way!

This is why squad depth is so important. Villa and United will be licking their lips. Brighton away is a tough fixture even with a full squad. Could be a defining moment in their season.
