Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is not expected to be available until after the November international break due to a hamstring injury, manager Arne Slot said ahead of Saturday's Premier League game against Chelsea.

The Brazil international limped off during the second half of Liverpool's 1-0 Champions League defeat at Galatasaray on Tuesday.

Slot is set to turn to Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili in Alisson's absence as Liverpool look to extend their two-point lead over Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.

"Alisson is not part of the squad tomorrow and he won't travel to Brazil for the national team," Slot told reporters on Friday.
