Alisson has given clarity on his current injury layoff and rebuffed suggestions he will miss the rest of Liverpool’s season – insisting he will return within weeks.
Arne Slot told reporters in his pre-Man City press conference that Alisson‘s hamstring injury would keep him out until “towards the end of the season.”
That understandably led to fears Liverpool’s No. 1 would miss most of their remaining games if not all, but the 33-year-old has taken to social media to dismiss those claims.
Alisson wrote on X: “I didn’t suffer a new injury.
“I’m in the treatment phase, and the plan is to be in full playing condition by the end of April!”
Alisson injury: The 6 Liverpool fixtures he WILL miss

This timeframe would suggest he will still be absent for Liverpool’s next six fixtures:
He should however he available for the final four games of the Premier League campaign against Man United, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Brentford in May along with the further rounds of the Champions League if Liverpool progress.
It is of course still far from an ideal situation and the fact it is not a new injury is not exactly encouraging news.
Alisson has struggled with persistent hamstring issues in recent seasons which have sidelined him for extended periods along with appearing to impact the way he kicks the ball.

Liverpool will call upon Giorgi Mamardashvili as starting goalkeeper in his absence with Freddie Woodman on the bench.
The club recently triggered an option in Alisson‘s contract to extend his stay at Anfield until 2027, by which point Mamardashvili is anticipated to have taken over as full-time No. 1.
Mamardashvili, 25, is yet to wholly convince in his 13 appearances for Liverpool but has still shown signs he is capable of becoming Liverpool’s next first-choice goalkeeper.
