Liverpool sweating over scary Alisson head injury on Brazil duty

  • Alisson forced off with head injury during Brazil’s 2-1 win over Colombia
  • Goalkeeper suffered suspected concussion
  • Liverpool face Everton in Merseyside derby on April 1

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson will be sent for scans on Friday after suffering a sickening head injury during Brazil’s 2-1 victory over Colombia.

Midway through the second half, a gruesome collision with Colombia defender Davinson Sanchez left both players down on the turf. Sanchez was ultimately stretchered off the field and Alisson was also substituted.

After the game, Brazil’s team doctor confirmed Alisson did not lose consciousness but had suffered a suspected concussion.

“Alisson suffered a head injury,” doctor Rodrigo Lasmar revealed. “He was replaced due to a suspected concussion, so now we will follow the protocol recommended by the CBF.

“He will undergo the recommended imaging tests. First, we will perform a CT scan, follow by a diffusion MRI.

If all the tests are negative and normal, หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล we will then perform a cognitive test, and then we will evaluate the player. If everything is normal, we will conduct a series of observation tests over the next few days to see whether or not he would be able to travel with us and go to Argentina for our next game.

“The first step is to perform the necessary tests and assessments and monitor the player over the next few days, which is the protocol. Alisson is normal. I believe you saw the images of him on the bench and after the game. He is completely normal now, without any complaints.
