Heartbreaking news from Brazil early this morning report that Liverpool’s Alisson Becker has lost his dad.
In a rather unfortunate turn of events, Liverpool star Alisson Becker has lost his dad to a drowning incident in native Brazil.
According to ESPN, the 57-year-old had been swimming at a dam on his property.
Initially, Jose Becker was declared missing around 5 pm on Wednesday and the fire department sent out a response team to help in the search.
The body was recovered around 11.59 pm. According to the police, there was no foul play suspected and it was reported to be ‘drowning’.
The Brazilian international signed for the Premier League champions back in 2018 and he has been one of the best players at the club since then.
Alisson’s brother Muriel is also a goalkeeper for Brazilian side Fluminense.
The 28-year-old Liverpool star has had a tough season so far and he has been involved in a few high-profile mistakes in the recent weeks.
It remains to be seen whether the Brazilian is given a compassionate leave so that he can be with his family in this time of need.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp lost his mother earlier this season and the German was not allowed to attend her funeral because of the coronavirus restrictions.
Alisson’s former club Internacional tweeted their condolences earlier.
Fans from various clubs have also sent their condolences to Alisson.
