Arne Slot does not feel fixture list has contributed to Alisson hamstring injury

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot does not believe their fixture list so far is anything out of the ordinary, so has not contributed to goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s potential absence this weekend.

The Brazil international has a hamstring issue which he has been carrying for some time and was aggravated during the midweek Champions League win over AC Milan.

Alisson, who has played every match for club and country this season after featuring at the Copa America in the summer, spoke ahead of that game about his concerns surrounding the increased workload players are facing with the expansion of major competitions like the Champions League.

The Reds are assessing the fitness of Alisson Becker ahead of this weekend’s fixture with AFC Bournemouth
