The Brazilian missed several games last season due to injury and will be disappointed to miss out on even more action in a Liverpool shirt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Like last season, however, Alisson&#8217;s reported absence will provide back up goalkeeper Adrian with the chance to take centre stage; a stage that the Spaniard has looked nervy on at times in the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The news will certainly worry Liverpool fans who were forced to watch on as Adrian&#8217;s mistakes led to an early Champions League at the hands of Atletico Madrid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">REPORT: Alisson Ruled Out of Aston Villa Game<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Growing Concern for Liverpool<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When on the pitch, Alisson is Mr reliable for Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s side, but, with the injuries tallying up, the Brazilian&#8217;s appearances have lessened to signal growing concern for Liverpool. Should the injuries continue, Jurgen Klopp may have to consider his options to ensure a successful title defence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Perhaps a more reliable backup is needed rather than the often mistake-prone Adrian, especially if Alisson remains unavailable. Liverpool need a keeper ready to step in without affecting the quality of their football when Alisson inevitably suffers injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take Manchester United, for example. Sergio Romero provides the Red Devils with the perfect backup option; some even say he is at a similar level to that of David De Gea. In the face of injury, the Argentine shot-stopper steps in without any cause for concern.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Looking to Make it Four from Four<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After impressive victories over Leeds United, Chelsea and Arsenal, Liverpool will be keen to keep their 100% record against Aston Villa. They&#8217;ll reportedly be without Alisson, but, with the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e342ad68\/Mohamed-Salah\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Salah<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4c370d81\/Roberto-Firmino\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roberto Firmino<\/a> likely to start, they should have more than enough firepower to see themselves to victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"u9qKaaB4SCpsKbHMAqWWlA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1228774193\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'u9qKaaB4SCpsKbHMAqWWlA',sig:'YrGVxZhEh_rq35sZwGABCqXiTbw1PTQPAgvoHENhiNk=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1228774193',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker will miss the Aston Villa game through injury, according to James Pearce of The Athletic.
