Liverpool manager Arne Slot has already said Allison will miss a league match at Chelsea on Saturday, but on Friday confirmed that the keeper will not join Brazil on October 10th and four days later for his best friend with South Korea.
Slots asked for a timescale for Allison’s absence “it depends on how fast he recovers. It’s clear that he’s not going to play in Brazil, not Saturday, and he would have been surprised if he had been in his first match after the international break (playing United at Anfield on October 19th).
“From there, things can be a little faster or a little slower. It’s always hard to say.”
That means Georgia International Giorgi Mamardashvili will run with the first team after joining full-time from Valencia during the offseason.

“Jurgen gave me a lot of gifts, but one of the gifts he gave me was my third (finished) one year before that and a year before that.
“The team played in a completely different way in the first half of the season than when they were the top of the league after the top of the Champions League. You can see this in this part of this season. We have to find the answers from last season.
