Alisson Becker will miss the return of the Champions League round of 16 against the Atlantic for a hip injury suffered on the eve of Liverpool's elimination in the FA Cup. The Brazilian goalkeeper, who has only conceded 17 goals in his 28 games, be replaced in the goalkeeper of Anfield by Adrin San Miguel, who last Tuesday lived a bittersweet day against Chelsea.

“On Wednesday they did a scan and found something. Now he's out. We'll see, but next week for sure – not to play – and then we'll see,” said Jrgen Klopp, a Liverpool technician, who also can't count on Alisson in the derby against Everton, next March 16.

The German coach explained that it is a “minor” injury in the “hip region” and that his goalkeeper could return after the selection stop on March 28-29. “He will say that after the international break he will be back one hundred percent. What we can get before that, we will see,” he said, ensuring that Jordan Henderson could return to the Atlantic.

Only two Adrin matches

The absence of Alisson supposes a severe revs for Liverpool, which must overcome the 1-0 of the Metropolitan without the goalkeeper who has kept the goalkeeper zero in 14 of his 28 games (50%).

The responsibility now corresponds to Adrin, who this season already disputed the first two days of the Champions League league. Then, the Sevillian conceded five goals (2-0 against Naples and 4-3 against Red Bull Salzburg). On Tuesday, Adrin was clearly in Willian's goal at Stamford Bridge and also not very alive in the 2-0 action of Ross Barkley. However, I react promptly to divert a shot from Oliver Giroud.
