Alisson doesn’t travel with Liverpool for Champions League match at Galatasaray

By Canadian Press on March 9, 2026.

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker was not part of the 21-man player squad that traveled to Turkey on Monday for the round-of-16 match against Galatasaray in the Champions League.

No reason was immediately given for the Brazil international’s absence ahead of Tuesday’s game in Istanbul.

Alisson played the full match in Liverpool’s most recent outing, a 3-1 win at Wolverhampton in the FA Cup on Friday.

Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is likely to deputize for Alisson.
