Alisson, Ekitike, Leoni - Liverpool injury news and return dates after Galatasaray defeat - Liverpool Echo

On Tuesday, Liverpool Football Club lost 1-0 to Galatasaray in Istanbul as Alisson Becker and Hugo Ekitike were both forced off injured during the second half.
Arne Slot, Liverpool manager, explained Hugo Ekitike felt something reaching for the ball, saying `He felt something when he had to reach for the ball, I think we all know which moment it was`, and tests are needed before Chelsea.
Slot confirmed Alisson Becker will undergo scans on Thursday after being withdrawn, with his absence for Saturday’s Chelsea match at 99.9%.
With Alisson sidelined, Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to replace him for Liverpool against Chelsea, while Alexander Isak is expected to start up front, potentially benefiting rivals Arsenal.
Giovanni Leoni has undergone surgery after tearing his ACL, facing a lengthy recovery likely out until around August 2026, with reports suggesting about 12 months sidelined.
