Klopp makes surprise decision in the middle of World Cup, Alisson out and goes for this replacement

Since Qatar, the best teams in the world have been competing in elite football, where magical stories are being written with every game. The national teams are achieving their goals and winning the group, as is the case of five-time world champions Brazil, who have a constellation of stars led by Liverpool FC goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who made his debut with a clean sheet.

Becker came up big on Thursday afternoon in Lusail, his interventions shutting the door on the Serbian strikers, who lost 2-0 to the fancied 'Canarinha'. Now with Brazil at the top of Group G, Tite could freshen up his starting eleven to close out the Group Stage, the only thing that could stop the 'Scratch du oro' are injuries and/or a drop in play from their stars.

Alarm bells went off at Anfield and in Doha after the 30-year-old goalkeeper missed training ahead of the Switzerland clash. The latest reports suggest that Becker is suffering from flu-like symptoms and has even been isolated from his team-mates to avoid a general contagion in the squad. The Carioca coach will therefore have to make an early decision on the goalkeeping position.

Our head coach, Jürgen Klopp, spoke to his superstars before travelling to the World Cup, and asked for honesty about any symptoms and ailments, with Becker now having to confirm this to the German, as Liverpool cannot afford to let it get any worse, as the former AS Roma man would lose pace and even prominence to Ederson.

<strong>Alisson to sit out Brazil v Switzerland match</strong>

Manchester City keeper Ederson looks set to start in goal for Monday's game against the Swiss. Tite knows that Alisson is his number one goalkeeper, but in this delicate situation he would not risk the player who cost the Red's 62.5 million plus 10 million in variables in the summer of 2018. Alisson signed a contract extension a year ago that ties him to Anfield until 2027.
