Alisson injury not 'a big thing' despite missing Galatasaray

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has been ruled out of the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie against Galatasaray through injury - but he could be back for the visit of Tottenham at the weekend.

The 33-year-old Brazilian sustained the injury in a training session shortly before Liverpool flew to Turkey for Tuesday's match at RAMS Park.

Reds boss Arne Slot told a news conference on Monday that Alisson felt minor discomfort and after consultation with the club's medical staff did not travel to Istanbul with the rest of the squad.
