"The Brazil international was hurt in the process of making a one-on-one stop from Victor Osimhen, who had earlier scored the penalty that settled the Champions League contest in Istanbul. Alisson was consequently replaced by Giorgi Mamardashvili and the Georgia international looks set to deputise against the Blues this weekend. Speaking to Amazon Prime, Slot said: "It's never positive if you go off like this. You can be sure he is not playing Saturday.""
"Liverpool have now suffered back-to-back defeats after seeing their unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign ended by Crystal Palace last Saturday. Defeat to Gala marks the first time they have failed to score in a group stage/league phase game since a 2-0 defeat to Atalanta in November 2020, ending a run of 23 consecutive matches with at least one goal. Moreover, Liverpool have lost five of their last eight away games in all competitions (W3), as many as their previous 34 beforehand (W21 D8 L5)."
"Again, disappointed. For me, this was a different performance on and off the ball [than against Palace]. In the first half we played quite well and had a big chance to go 1-0 up," he said. "It is difficult to compare this situation to before. We are sometimes a bit out-smarted in situations like this and I cannot blame Dominik Szoboszlai for the situation. They make a 20% penalty"
