Liverpool glovesman Alisson Becker has posted a two-word Instagram message regarding his injury.
The Brazil international has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury which he suffered in the 1-1 draw against Brighton on November 28th.
However, there is good news. The £90,000-a-week man posted the following on Instagram earlier.
The ex-Roma shot-stopper’s issue meant that he was forced to watch the wins over Ajax and Wolves from the sidelines.
However, Jurgen Klopp’s side were in safe hands as young Caoimhin Kelleher kept back-to-back clean sheets.
The Irishman revealed that Alisson texted him to say congratulations following the win over Ajax, in which the academy graduate made a few impressive saves and was generally calm and commanding.
Despite his excellent displays, Klopp will presumably play the Brazilian when he’s fully fit once again.
You can hardly blame the German for doing so, seeing as Alisson is his undisputed No.1, cost £66.8 million and won the Premier League Golden Glove in 2018/19.
While that might disappoint Kelleher, Alisson’s injury has actually worked in his favour.
Before the 28-year-old hurt himself against Brighton, the academy prospect was third choice behind the No.1 and Adrian.
However, following two excellent displays, it now seems as if Kelleher has propelled himself up the pecking order.
His role now should be to soak up as much knowledge as he can from arguably Europe’s best goalkeeper, and look to develop his own game as much as possible.
