It was already known that the full-back would not play internationally with England. But now he is expected to miss the league games against Leicester, Brighton and Wolves. He is also likely to be out of his Champions League matches against Ajax and Atalanta.
This disappointing news is the latest in a long list of Liverpool injuries. Allison missed a couple of games before Virgil Van Dijk suffered a season-ending injury against Everton.
The Dutchman was involved in a nasty showdown with Jordan Pickford. It was later confirmed that he had suffered a cruciate ligament injury and required surgery.
Fabinho is out until after the international break. The Brazilian suffered a hamstring injury in the Champions League against FC Midtjylland.
Jurgen Klopp’s team has also been without Thiago. But they hope that the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich player will be in a position to return after the national break.
Despite their injury problems, Liverpool are still off to a good start to the new season. He is third in the Premier League after eight games. The Reds are just one point behind Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester at the top.
They were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Arsenal. But they rank at the top of their Champions League group after winning all three of their games so far.
Liverpool’s first game after the two-week break is against league leaders Leicester at Anfield.
