Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker reveals he has returned from his latest injury earlier than expected.
Hard work and faith in God helped Alisson to make his return in half the time the doctors predicted, the Brazilian goalie reveals.
Liverpool’s No. 1 returned from injury in the 2-1 victory over Sheffield United last weekend. He was expected to be sidelined at least until mid-November.
“I pray a lot,” Alisson told Daily Mail. “Seriously, I pray a lot! Also, I did a lot of sessions of treatment.
“I was every day for five or six hours at the club, getting treatment with the physios; working with the fitness department and after two weeks, I was able to be together with the goalie coaches again.
“We started doing catches. I wasn’t able to dive (immediately) but then two and a half weeks I started to dive.
“Then, three days before the (Sheffield United) game, I start to work hard – facing hard shots, doing full range diving, so then on Friday I gave the green light to the boss.
“I believe my faith and working hard helps me in this fast recovery. Every injury you have on the ligament, whether it is your ankle, your shoulder or your knee, you still feel something weird.
“It’s not pain but you feel it for a couple of weeks. It’s nothing that puts limits on my way to play,” the Brazilian concluded.
Alisson is currently playing his third season at Anfield. He has won the Champions League and the Premier League with the Reds so far.
