Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, suffered an injury during the seventh round of the Premier League match against Crystal Palace.

Details

During the second half, the goalkeeper felt discomfort while distributing the ball, sat down on the pitch, and called for medical assistance. After consulting with the team staff, it was decided that Becker would end his game early, leaving the field in the 79th minute. The severity of the injury is still unknown at this time. It is believed to be a muscle injury, but more details will be provided by the club later.

In Alisson's place, 23-year-old Czech goalkeeper Vítězslav Jaroš took to the field. Jaroš returned to Merseyside last summer following a loan spell with Sturm Graz, and this was his debut appearance for Liverpool’s senior team.
