London: Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker will be sidelined for "a few weeks" after the Brazilian suffered a hamstring injury in a 1-0 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Alisson was injured while making a clearance and was forced to limp off in the second half of the Premier League clash at Selhurst Park.
Czech international Vitezslav Jaros, 23, came on to replace Alisson, with Liverpool boss Arne Slot admitting he does not expect to have his first choice available for a while.
Alisson has been hampered by hamstring injuries and will miss the Premier League leaders' game against Chelsea following the forthcoming international break.
"What I do know is that when a player walks off like he did, it normally means he's not in the Brazil squad and I don't expect him to be in the team for the first match we play after the break," Slot said after Diogo Jota's ninth minute goal sealed Liverpool's sixth win in seven league games this season.
