Liverpool have been dealt a huge injury blow with keeper Alisson Becker set to be out "for a long while" after limping off in his side's win at Crystal Palace. Arne Slot's side went four points clear in the Premier League with a 1-0 win at Selhurst Park, courtesy of Diogo Jota's 9th minute goal.
But the win was soured by yet another injury to their Brazilian No.1.
With just 11 minutes left, Alisson went toi ground and was seen clutching his hamstring before being replaced by Vítezslav Jaros.
And speaking on TNT Sports, Peter Crouch said he feared the worst for the 32-year-old. "You could see that he knew straight aways," said the ex-Reds striker..
"When a player reacts like that straight away you know it is a bad one. I'm really concerned for him. Alisson looks distraught in front of us here. That's the one bad thing about today for Liverpool, losing Alisson. Because that could be a long while now."
Away manager Arne Slot refused to dwell on the potential blow though, choosing indtead to focus on his team's performance. "There was a period in the second half where we conceded a number of needless free-kicks and throw-ins." he said.
But in general, is the last 10 minutes, we kept the ball really well. You need to score a second sometimes to break them mentally but although we were the dominant tram, we only won 1-0."
