“Caoimhín Kelleher: Seizing His Chance as Liverpool’s Goalkeeper Amid Alisson’s Injury”

Caoimhín Kelleher is determined to seize his chance as he prepares to start in goal for Liverpool against Chelsea, filling in for the injured Alisson. The 25-year-old goalkeeper understands the challenges of being a backup, often waiting for his moment to prove he can match the Brazilian's caliber. This match will mark Kelleher's second Premier League start of the season, and he is keenly aware that to secure a permanent starting position, he may need to consider leaving Anfield, where he has often found himself on the sidelines. Last season, Kelleher made 26 appearances for Liverpool, including a memorable performance in the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea, where he played a crucial role in the victory. He has lifted the trophy twice, notably scoring a penalty in the shootout during a previous encounter with Chelsea, which put him in the spotlight. Despite being recognized as the best darts player at the club, Kelleher's true aspiration remains to claim the starting goalkeeper position, a title that has eluded him while Alisson is at the helm. As he prepares for this important match, Kelleher is focused on making the most of his opportunity.

“Alisson Faces Six-Week Layoff Due to Hamstring Injury, Leaving Liverpool in a Bind”

Liverpool has been dealt a significant injury blow as scans have confirmed that Alisson will be sidelined for six weeks due to a hamstring injury he sustained during the match against Crystal Palace on Saturday. The Brazilian goalkeeper was substituted in the 79th minute of the 1-0 victory after experiencing a second hamstring issue this season. Medical tests have indicated that the severity of the injury will keep Liverpool's first-choice keeper out of action until after the international break in November. This setback means that Alisson will miss several crucial domestic and European fixtures in the coming weeks.
