Alisson’s Head Meets Sanchez in Match Drama …

In a World Cup qualifier that ended sooner than expected for Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson, the only goal he was scoring was a fast track back to Merseyside. Alisson had a face-off with Colombia that literally involved his face bumping into ex-Spurs defender Davinson Sanchez. Right after the crash, Alisson clocked out in the 78th minute for a quick trip to the concussion express, hopping on a flight back to Liverpool with a head full of caution signs.

Upon landing in the UK, Alisson took Instagram for a hearty reassurance act, proving that head trauma doesn’t stop him from the emoji life. He stated, “Hey guys, just to let you know I’m fine,” with a scatter of love hearts and prayer hands, probably sent from the safety of a cushioned room. Meanwhile, Brazil’s team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar detailed an itinerary of medical follow-up as Alisson gears up for the friendly confines of his own goalkeeper’s box.

As Liverpool prepares for a showdown with local rivals Everton sans his gloved guardianship, fans’ hopes hang in the balance — just like Alisson’s equilibrium was last Thursday. In the sea of red jerseys and crossed fingers, we all await Liverpool’s next headlining act: whether Alisson will make the pitch or continue his role in ‘protocol city.’ Bon voyage, sporting spirit!
