And Slot – who also revealed that midfielder Alexis Mac Allister was brought off at half-time due to a groin issue – believes Alisson will miss the Chelsea clash on October 20 as an absolute minimum.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAlisson went down clutching his hamstring late in the second half against Crystal Palace and could miss his side’s game against Chelsea<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Brazilian had recently worked his way back from a hamstring injury weeks earlier<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAlisson had to be taken off and was consoled by a number of his Liverpool team-mates<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
‘We don’t know (how bad it is), but when he walks off like he does it means he is not in going with the Brazil squad and I don’t expect him to be in the team for the game afterwards,’ said Slot.<\/p>\n
‘He is the best ‘keeper in the world, so it’s a blow.’<\/p>\n
Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk also offered a worrying update on Alisson.<\/p>\n
‘Alisson’s injury doesn’t look good,’ Van Dijk said.<\/p>\n
‘It looks like a hamstring injury which was already bothering him, and from which he recovered.’<\/p>\n
Liverpool’s third-choice goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros was the man who replaced Alisson in the 79th minute against Palace as regular backup\u00a0Caoimhin Kelleher was absent with illness.<\/p>\n
Jaros, who spent last season on loan at Austrian club Sturm Graz, did his chances of retaining his spot no harm when he pulled off a key save to deny Eberechi Eze.<\/p>\n
Slot said the 23-year-old was ‘really good’ and felt his cameo underlined the importance of having a strong goalkeeping stable, especially since Jaros wanted to move in the summer.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nJaros made a clutch save with only a handful of minutes left in normal time to deny Eberechi Eze<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe 23-year-old was thrust into the contest after Alisson’s injury but did not look out of place<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nLiverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk celebrates with the goalkeeper after their clean sheet<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
‘He (Jaros) had a very good season last season,’ Slot told TNT Sports.<\/p>\n
‘He won the league and he won the cup where he was in Austria. And he wanted to go. He wanted to go because he wanted to have playing time again.<\/p>\n
‘But we said, ‘Listen, at a club like this, we also need a very good third goalkeeper, and today proved that we are right.<\/p>\n
‘And maybe for him, was a nice moment to make his debut for Liverpool.’<\/p>\n
Slot will hope his medical staff can work their magic on Alisson with the Premier League to pause for the international break after Sunday.<\/p>\n
Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Palace ensured they would go into the break top of the table having won six league games from seven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
