Liverpool head coach Arne Slot says it is “difficult” to say when goalkeeper Alisson will return from injury.

The Brazilian injured his hamstring during the Reds’ 1-0 defeat by Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday.

A report in the Athletic, external claimed the 33-year-old would be out of action for about six weeks, which would see him return after the international break in mid-November.

But, after ruling Alisson out of Saturday’s trip to Chelsea (17:30 BST), Slot was reluctant to put a timeframe on the goalkeeper’s recovery.

“It depends on how fast his recovery goes,” said Slot.

“So, Saturday it’s clear [he’s injured], he’s not going to play for Brazil and I would be surprised if he would be there in the first game after the international break.

“But from there on, sometimes things can go a bit faster or a bit slower. It’s always difficult to say the amount of days and weeks, but for the upcoming games he will not be part of us or the Brazil team.”
