No more lies, here is the real reason for Alisson's absence against Burnley

Liverpool are still struggling to cope with the absence of key players, with Mohamed Salah and Thiago Alcantara injured and Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson and defender Joe Gomez also missing for Saturday's match against Burnley at Anfield due to a problem that has hit the team unexpectedly.

German manager Jürgen Klopp surprised everyone with his line-up for the game, with Irishman Caoimhim Kelleher in goal in place of Brazilian Alisson, while Scotland's Andy Robertson returned to the starting line-up after picking up the shoulder last year to take Joe Gomez's place at left-back.

According to different investigations it has been confirmed that the absence of both players is due to flu which affected several players in the team but left these two players out of the squad. It should be remembered that other players who are also absent from this match are Frenchman Konaté who is suspended as well as Conor Bradley after the death of his father a few days ago.
