Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has confirmed he hopes to play again this month and revealed via a social media post that he has not suffered a new injury.
The Brazilian missed the Reds final match before the international break - at Brighton - due to a knock and he was also forced to sit out his country's games over the March international break.
There had been an expectation that Alisson would be back for this weekend's FA Cup tie at Manchester City, but Arne Slot confirmed in Friday's press conference that he will miss the quarter-final, and the double header against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League over the next two weeks.

"He will not be part of the PSG games as well; he will be out for a little bit longer," Slot said at the AXA Training Centre. "Towards the end of the season, we expect him to be fit."
Alisson has since clarified the situation via a post 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," he wrote.
Alisson missed the Champions League trip to Galatasaray on March 10 due to a hamstring injury, but returned to play in the draw with Tottenham five days later and the second leg of the Galatasaray encounter.

He then missed the Brighton match, with Giorgi Mamardashvili replacing the experienced stopper.
The Georgian is likely to start between the sticks this weekend and in the upcoming PSG double header later this month.
Alisson also looks set to miss Premier League matches against Fulham, Everton and perhaps Crystal Palace at the end of April.
Concerns have been raised about the number of recurring injuries Alisson has suffered in recent years and has been sidelined 11 times in the last three years, including a run of eight matches across October and November that he missed with a hamstring issue.

The repeated injury problems have raised doubts about his long-term future, especially with Mamardashvili, a first-choice stopper at Valencia before joining the Reds last summer, waiting in the wings.
The 33-year-old signed a new contract last month that runs until 2027, and despite the injury woes, he has remained among the club's most consistent performers this season.
Meanwhile, Slot said in Friday's press conference that Mohamed Salah and Jeremie Frimpong are fit to face City on Saturday following recent injury issues, and confirmed Alexander Isak could be available for "a few minutes" as he returns from a near four-month absence.
