Liverpool fans rage at Alisson Becker after confirmed news
Liverpool fans have been left raging at Alisson after the latest injury update ahead of their Carabao Cup clash with West Ham.
Arne Slot confirmed in his pre-match press conference that the goalkeeper would miss the League Cup clash, while it would be “tight” whether he could return for the Wolves game on 28 September.
This comes following a muscle issue picked up during the Champions League win against AC Milan which saw Caoimhin Kelleher start in the win against Bournemouth.
Last season, the 31-year-old missed 16 games with muscular injuries, and many fans at Anfield are growing tired of his reoccurring issues.
Liverpool completed the signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili during the summer transfer window with a long-term view of becoming Alisson’s replacement.
Now, it is becoming clear to many why the club moved quickly to land the Georgian’s signature given their goalkeeper’s worsening injury issues.

Many have begun questioning his long-term future at the club, and some have gone as far as insisting he should be sold come the end of the season.
Taking to social media in response to Slot’s press conference, the goalkeeper’s latest blow was labelled “ridiculous” and “a joke” as fans’ frustrations boiled over.
In other news, Liverpool have been given the green light to open Luis Diaz talks.
