Brazil’s team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar has provided a mixed injury update on Alisson after the Liverpool goalkeeper had to be taken off with a head injury against Colombia on Friday.

Alisson was involved in a sickening collision with former Tottenham Hotspur defender Davison Sanchez, when the Brazilian stopper punched the ball clear but his momentum carried him forward and he painfully collided heads with Sanchez.

After receiving on-field treatment, both players had to be replaced given the severity of the incident.



Lasmar revealed Alisson had suffered a suspected concussion but added that ‘everything is normal’.
