Alisson ruled out again! Liverpool goalkeeper to miss Brentford clash after suffering hamstring injury setback in training

Premier League

Liverpool

Newcastle

Manager Jurgen Klopp had declared his number one shot-stopper fit to feature against the Bees, but the Brazilian felt a recurrence of the same hamstring issue that saw him sidelined against Burnley last weekend. According to <a href="https://theathletic.com/live-blogs/premier-league-news-live-updates-press-conferences-fixtures/WKkRWqwUQaxn/Twocnxtn5ZUE/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>, Alisson suffered the injury in Friday's afternoon training session, less than a day before the clash against Brentford.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The news means Caoimhin Kelleher will almost certainly deputise between the sticks, as he did against Burnley, with Klopp left sweating on the fitness of his star goalkeeper. Liverpool are already without Dominik Szoboszlai <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jurgen-klopp-trent-alexander-arnold-injury-liverpool/bltbce5af286dd3606c" target="_blank">and Trent Alexander-Arnold</a> through recent issues, adding to the long-term woes of midfield duo <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thiago-injured-liverpool-arsenal-comeback/blt52cf3bc5ab0fafd2" target="_blank">Thiago Alcantara</a> and Stefan Bajcetic. But Klopp was handed a major boost with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-huge-mohamed-salah-boost-jurgen-klopp-positive-fitness-update-brentford/bltc46128595ee48f20" target="_blank">the return to the squad of Mohamed Salah</a> this weekend, after his injury while on Egypt duty at AFCON.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Alisson only missed one Premier League game all of last campaign as Liverpool had to settle for a fifth-placed spot. Already this term the Brazilian has missed four league matches, which Klopp will hope doesn't increase much further as they look to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jurgen-klopp-xabi-alonso-liverpool-bayer-leverkusen-jose-mourinho-pep-guardiola-dinosaurs/blt9cc5471fe3d7ad56" target="_blank">end his Reds swansong on a high</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

Klopp's side will aim to clinch all three points against Brentford to go five clear at the top <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cole-palmer-chelsea-man-city-pep-guardiola-right-let-him-go/blte0c07c19fbf03be6" target="_blank">before Manchester City face Chelsea</a> in the evening kick-off. Bees boss Thomas Frank recently <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/thomas-frank-next-liverpool-manager-brentford-boss-possibility-taking-over-from-jurgen-klopp/blt591993aa4d48bfd3" target="_blank">played down notions of replacing the German</a> in the Reds dugout when he leaves in the summer.
