Alisson's absence from the starting lineup began on October 5, following an injury incurred during Liverpool's 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace. This particular injury, affecting his hamstring, has prevented his involvement in subsequent matches.
The impact and current status of his recovery can be summarized as follows:
