The Redsâ number 1 has missed our last six matches with a hamstring injury â the second one he has had this season â and his Georgian understudy suffered a deep wound to his knee in the 2-1 win over Everton on Sunday.
That body blow led to Freddie Woodman being summoned from the bench to make his first Premier League appearance for LFC, with his efforts subsequently being praised by Andy Robertson.
As reported by Gregg Evans for , Mamardashvili is expected to be ruled out for two to four weeks, with the 25-year-old as he downplayed fears of a serious injury.

When the Georgia international left the pitch on a stretcher at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, Reds fans wouldâve been forgiven for fearing the worst, considering our luck on the injury front this season.
Thankfully, it looks as though he could recover before the campaign finishes next month, and having our number 1 back for the grudge match at Old Trafford in 12 daysâ time would be a massive boost for Arne Slot.
Thatâs not being disrespectful towards Woodman, who did his job commendably against Everton, but the reassurance of having Alisson as our last line of defence against Man United in the run-in to the Champions League qualification race would be enormous.
The Liverpool head coach mightnât be hugely popular right now, but supporters wouldnât at all disagree with his assertion in January that the Brazilian is âthe best goalkeeperâ in the world, a status he has underline throughout eight outstanding years at Anfield.
Fingers crossed that the 33-year-old will be passed fit to play against the Red Devils, and that Mamardashvili will also be cleared to return in early May.
In the meantime, weâre confident that Woodman will have a better outing at home to Palace on Saturday than he did on his Reds debut six months ago when we lost 3-0 in the Carabao Cup.
