JAKARTA - After suffering a head injury in the World Cup Qualification match against Colombia on Friday, March 21, goalkeeper Alisson Becker had to leave the Brazilian national team early
The Liverpool goalkeeper suffered a hard impact with Colombia's Davinson Sanchez in the 78th minute so he was forced to be pulled out and is currently undergoing further investigation.
"Alisson is on his way back to Merseyside and will undergo further examination by Liverpool's medical team," Liverpool wrote in its official statement, reported by ANTARA, Saturday, March 22.
Previously, Brazilian team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar revealed that Alisson showed symptoms of concussion and immediately followed applicable protocols.
"Becker suffered a collision in the head and was pulled out on suspicion of a concussion," Lasmar said.
Lasmar added that Alisson was conscious and had no memory loss, but felt a little slow in responding, so the substitution was the best decision.
