Despite the positive result at Anfield, the situation surrounding Alisson Becker remains a major concern for us heading into Tuesday night.
Speaking via Liverpoolfc.com after the Fulham win, Arne Slot delivered a definitive update on the goalkeeperās fitness.
āTuesday I donāt expect him. Heās not training with the team yet.
āBut heās working very hard on his recovery, so we hope to have him back in the near future. But he doesnāt train with the team yet, so he will not be performing [on] Tuesday.ā
That confirmation ends any lingering hope that the Brazilian No.1 could return in time for the decisive European fixture, leaving us without arguably our most influential defensive figure once again.
The importance of the 33-year-old to this side canāt be overstated, and recent numbers underline just how much we rely on him between the sticks.
As has already been highlighted, 10 of our 15 defeats this season have come without Alisson in the starting XI, which paints a clear picture of the impact his absence has on the overall stability of the team.
Itās not just about the saves either, because the former Roma stopper brings calmness and leadership to a defensive unit that has looked far more vulnerable in recent weeks.
While Giorgi Mamardashvili stepped in against Fulham and helped secure a clean sheet, the step up against PSG will be far greater, especially given how dominant the French side were in the first leg.
Slot will at least take confidence from the improved performance domestically, where goals from Rio Ngumoha and Mo Salah helped us bounce back, but the reality is that the Champions League tie will demand another level entirely.
With Alisson still working his way back and not yet training with the squad, weāll have to find a solution without him, and thatās a challenge that could ultimately define our season.
Slot acknowledged the ongoing concerns regarding Alisson Becker's absence following Liverpool's victory.
