Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker took a trip to Italy with his family as he continues to recover from injury.

The Brazilian international has been out since October when he suffered a muscle injury in Liverpool’s win over Crystal Palace.

Since then, he has missed six games for the Reds.

But his absence has not been felt much.

Without him, Arne Slot’s side has continued to march on, with Caoimhin Kelleher and his new deputy Vít?zslav Jaroš keeping the Reds machine running.

Kelleher was once again in impressive form on Tuesday as Liverpool secured a 4-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen to take them top of the Champions League table.

Slot confirmed that Alisson is expected to return before Christmas, with no definite date in mind due to the nature of the injury.

“I expect Ali to be back before Christmas, yeah, but you never know,” Slot said last month.

“It is always difficult to know how an injury will go in the first stages, so we can answer that question better in two or three weeks’ time.”

But rather than feel sorry for himself, it looks like Alisson is making the most of some time off.

Alisson and family take a trip to Italy

The Liverpool goalkeeper travelled with his family to Italy for a change of scenery and some holiday time.

On Wednesday, his wife, Natalia, posted on Instagram from Rome as Liverpool’s No?

1 enjoyed a trip away back to his former home with his partner and three children.

It is positive to see Alisson in good spirits and relaxing with his family, with a change in scenery beneficial to his recovery.

Rather than solely being stuck at Liverpool’s AXA Training Centre doing rehab work, the Brazilian is being given time off to keep him mentally fresh ahead of his expected return.
