Alisson out of Brazil squad and will miss Brighton

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has withdrawn from the Brazil squad because of an injury and will miss Saturday's Premier League match against Brighton.

The 33-year-old has not travelled with the Reds squad to face Brighton at Amex Stadium (12:30 GMT), with Giorgi Mamardashvili expected to start in goal.

Liverpool have not revealed the exact nature of Alisson's injury and boss Arne Slot did not mention any concerns over the Brazilian's fitness in his pre-match press conference.

Hugo Souza has been called up by Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti to replace Alisson for their friendlies against France and Croatia in the United States on 26 and 1 April respectively.
