Alisson is out of Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth on Saturday, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed.
The Reds return to league action after their midweek defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup, searching for a return to winning ways.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, as reported by James Pearce, Klopp revealed that Alisson is out of the game, having suffered a hip injury in training:

This is a massive blow for Liverpool, who know that four more wins will seal a first league title since 1990.
Alisson has been magnificent this season, cementing his reputation as the world’s best goalkeeper, winning numerous awards along the way.
Liverpool did make do without him for two months earlier in the campaign, however, winning every league game with Adrian between the sticks while he was out injured.
The Spaniard made a bad error against Chelsea, though, so he will be under pressure to fill the void left by Alisson, as Liverpool host a relegation-threatened Bournemouth side.
