Alisson Becker Injuries

'Ali, of course, was in the session - as many people could see - but unfortunately, he felt something towards the end of the session, and we decided together that it wasn't good enough to play tomorrow. And then it's of no use travelling.' 'We are training today, as you know, so let's see if he can join the team session. And that is something I expect, but I'm not 100 per cent sure yet, because I haven't spoken to him or the medical staff this morning. I'm hopeful.'

'Ali is sick, so that is why he cannot [play].' 'Ali trained again with the team today, so we hope and expect him to be available at the weekend.'

'When he sprinted back, he felt something. I cannot tell you [exactly] because I am not a physio, but normally when a player sprints back - feels something - goes to the floor and doesn't come back onto the pitch [it is not good]. Normally, he will not be able to play on Saturday. That's 99.9 per cent - I've already said 100 per cent, but let's make it 99.9 [although] I think it's 100.' 'It's clear that he's not there on Saturday, and clearly, he is not going to play for Brazil. I would be surprised if he would be there for the first game after the international break, but from there on, things can go faster or a bit slower...' 'He's not training with us, so he's out. Like I always say, it's so difficult to say [how long he will be out], because the end phase of rehab can always give you positives and negatives. But he will not play this weekend, and also not next week.' 'The other two (Isak and Alisson) are 99.99% for sure, not in the squad. I've said many times, in the end phase of the injury, things can slow down. A bit can go faster. Let's wait and see where they are...' 'All three are not available for tomorrow. Jeremie and Alisson will both also not be available for Sunday.' 'Alisson for sure [after the break], and I expect Jeremie back after the international break as well because we play from November until March! But I don't expect Jeremie to be fully fit for Forest, but with Alisson, we expect this.' 'Alisson trained last week and this week, so he will be able to play tomorrow if things work out well today again. If he’s ready to play, he will start.'

'He had to go back to Brazil for private reasons. That's far from ideal... for him to not be there in a game like this, and in pre-season, it's also not ideal if you miss out on part of the pre-season. But again, private life is more important in these matters than joining a game today.'

'He was replaced due to a suspected concussion, so now we will follow the protocol recommended by the CBF. He will undergo the recommended imaging tests. First, we will perform a CT scan, followed by a diffusion MRI.' 'He is normal, with no complaints. He reported no fainting and no memory loss. Today, we will do the tests, all the necessary evaluations. In the possibility that everything is normal, we will make a sequence of observations in the coming days.' 'Ali trained with us as well. The last check has to be made, I think, after the session [this afternoon to determine] if he is available to play.' 'We as a club follow the [concussion] protocol, and he had to tick all the boxes. Yesterday, he didn't tick the last box. We have Kelleher, who has shown this season that he is maybe too good to be Alli's back-up.' 'With Ali, it's simple, a concussion, he has to tick all of the boxes, and when he does, he will be in goal.' 'There’s a week to go [until the next game], so it gives us a bit of time. We always follow the protocol in moments like this when it’s a concussion. If you haven’t ticked all the boxes, he can’t be in goal. He wants it a lot, but the protocol is the protocol.' 'Yes, he is [fully recovered].'

'What we do know is that if a player walks off like he did, that normally means that he is not in the Brazil squad, and I don't expect him to be in the team in the first game we play after [the international break]. We have to wait and see, but it is going to take a few weeks, I assume, for him to be back. I think it is [his hamstring].' 'Alisson is for sure not with us in the upcoming weeks, that's clear. So, that's a blow for him and for us because I think he did really well this season and did so well for this club for so many years.' 'He's progressing well, like we expect. But it's not a short-term recovery. It's always difficult to judge him. I think the best way to judge an injury is [at] the end of an injury, the end phase of his rehab, and he's not there yet. I don't expect him to be in vs Brighton or next week.' 'It is always difficult to tell you exactly when they are ready because especially the last phase of the recovery can always be a few days extra or less. The fact is that they are not there before the break. Let’s see if they can join us after.' 'He is training with the GK coach. He is not training with the team yet, but that is expected to be soon. Then let’s wait and see where he is in terms of match fitness. The only thing I can say is that I don’t expect [him] to be available for [Real or Man City].' 'We are just waiting for Alisson to be completely fit because Caoimhin is doing too well to put [a half-fit] Alisson in goal. It might take a few more days. But he will be in goal before the end of December if things continue like they are now.' 'Not ready yet, but he will be ready very soon.'

'He has a slight issue with one of his muscles. We wonder if this game tomorrow is coming too early or not. He didn't do it in the Milan game; he felt it before, and then he felt it more and more. Now we have to see if he's ready for the weekend.' 'Caoimhin will be in goal on Wednesday. Alisson is getting there, but I think this game has come a bit too early. We're looking at this weekend with the game against Wolves, but it's looking a bit tight.' 'We think he is [ready to play]. He trained yesterday as part of our session with the group, so we're expecting him to do the whole session today. So, we think he is available, but of course, we have to train today.'

'Yesterday, in the last training session, minus one, Ali pulled out. That's really not cool. It's a muscle, and we don't know [how serious it is] yet. We have to wait. How it always is, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will know more.' 'So, not available is obviously Ali; that's a muscle injury where we don't know exactly how long it takes, but definitely not for the foreseeable time coming back.' 'And all the others, we know it's longer. Ali has a muscle injury. Trent, LCL. Jota, medial ligament, MCL.' 'Ali is with the GK coaches, but [he] looks good as well. I think in his mind as well, next week parts of team training.' 'Alisson is on the way back as well. So, we have to see that.'

'Ali only left the camp this morning. [He] felt unwell, couldn't sleep or eat really, so that's not helpful.'

'Ali is a bit lesser (than Jota), so we have to see. Not day by day, he cannot play tomorrow or Sunday, probably not the week after, should be kind of OK [after that].' 'Obviously, Ali is closer [than Jota], but not available for tomorrow definitely.' 'Yes, yesterday. Yesterday, he trained normally.'

'Alisson didn't train but should train today individually.'

"Ali, I think, has the chance for City [in the Community Shield]. He feels a muscle (abdominal). It's nothing serious, but, again, we prepare for a full season. So he can train but just not like before, so he should not play at the moment." "Definitely not for Salzburg [on Wednesday] but then we will see. He is close to getting back, I think." "Ali trained today more than the day before so he will be definitely available for Fulham, but not for the weekend."

"Ali feels much better, good enough to have an individual session today."

"Ali will train today and if he trains and all fine, then he can play."

"Ali looks very good. We have to see; catching balls and stuff like this is all possible. But we cannot rush it and will not rush it."

"I would say after the international break he is back 100 per cent, whatever we can get before that we will see."

"Yesterday he trained with the team [for the first time]. He looked really good. We will see, I have to talk to different people before I make a decision about that."
