Alisson leaves Liverpool's tour of Asia due to ‘personal matter' and will not return until Slot's men are back in UK
LIVERPOOL goalkeeper Alisson Becker has left the club's pre-season tour of Asia for a personal matter. The Brazil international wasn't involved in Tuesday's open training session held at JFA Dream Field in Tokyo in sweltering conditions. It was later revealed that Alisson has been given permission by Liverpool to leave Japan immediately. That means he won't feature in Wednesday's final match against Yokohama F Marinos at Nissan Stadium. The 32-year-old will rejoin Arne Slot's squad after their return to the UK. Summer signing Giorgi Mamardashvili, who arrived from Valencia, is expected to start Wednesday against the J1 League strugglers. Slot still has plenty of cover, with goalkeepers Freddie Woodman, Armin Pecsi and Kornel Misciur also on the tour. Luis Diaz, 28, left a few days ago to complete his transfer to Bayern Munich. And Defender Joe Gomez flew home last week because of an Achilles injury and is undergoing further tests in Merseyside. Liverpool arrived in Tokyo on Sunday following a 4-2 defeat to AC Milan in Hong Kong.
