Alisson Becker, the Brazilian goalkeeper who has been in fine form for Flamengo this season, is currently out injured and it is unclear when he will be able to return.
The latest injury update from Flamengo confirms that Alisson has sustained an ankle ligament injury during training earlier this week. The Brazilian goalkeeper underwent surgery to repair the damage and is expected to be out of action for several weeks.
This news comes as a major blow to Flamengo, who have been one of the most successful teams in Brazil this season. With Alisson in goal, the team has won all of their last six matches, including two victories against some of the top sides in the country.
However, with Alisson unavailable,Saudi Pro League Focus Flamengo will need to find a new goalkeeper to fill his place in the starting lineup. This could be a difficult task, especially given the strong competition for places in the team.
Despite the setback, Flamengo manager Jorge Jesus remains optimistic about the team's chances. "We're going to try to find a solution," he said. "There are other good keepers in our squad."
For now, Flamengo will turn to their backup goalkeeper, who has stepped up in Alisson's absence. But with Alisson set to miss an extended period of time, it is likely that the team will have to adapt and look for solutions elsewhere.
