Alisson Out vs. Bournemouth, Atletico Madrid Due to Hip Injury from Training
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker will miss the Reds' clash with Bournemouth on Saturday and won't face Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday after suffering a hip injury in training.
Paul Gorst of the Liverpool Echo shared manager Jurgen Klopp's comments from his press conference on Friday:
David Lynch of the Evening Standard noted Klopp later confirmed Alisson's absence from the crucial tie against the Spanish giants.
The Reds are 1-0 down to Atleti from the first leg of their last-16 tie.
Alisson is also a doubt for the Reds' Premier League clash at Everton on March 16:
Liverpool will have to turn to backup goalkeeper Adrian in the meantime.
The Spaniard failed to keep out a shot from Willian that was straight at him on Tuesday as the Reds lost 2-0 to Chelsea in the FA Cup:
It is not the first time this season he has made an error to give the opponents a goal:
Goal compared his numbers in this campaign with Alisson's:
Liverpool have still won 10 of the 14 matches Adrian has started this season, while Bournemouth have lost 10 of their last 12 away games in all competitions, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue for that match.
It is far from ideal against Atleti, though. A single away goal for Los Rojiblancos means Liverpool will have to score three on Wednesday, and that will be no mean feat.
Atletico have shipped just 19 goals in 26 La Liga matches this season, and not once in this campaign have they conceded three in a single match.
