Alisson Becker Injury Forces Withdrawal from Brazil Squad; Souza Named Replacement
Alisson Becker, Liverpool's primary goalkeeper, will miss Brazil's March international camp due to injury, according to the Brazilian Football Confederation. Hugo Souza of Corinthians will take Alisson's place in the squad, which is managed by Italian head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Alisson Becker's injury has led to his exclusion from Brazil's squad for the March international camp. The Brazilian Football Confederation officially announced that Hugo Souza from Corinthians will replace him. Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, did not comment on Alisson's condition during a pre-match press conference before their Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion. Alisson played a full 90 minutes in Liverpool's 4-0 win against Galatasaray last week. However, he missed the first leg against the Turkish side ten days prior. British media reports suggest Alisson will also be absent from Liverpool's match against Brighton.
