Alisson suffered concussion during Brazil's World Cup qualifier against Colombia
Alisson is travelling back to Merseyside and will undergo assessment from the Reds' medical staff.
"The first step is to perform the necessary tests and assessments and monitor the player over the next few days, which is the protocol. Alisson is normal. I believe you saw the images of him on the bench and after the game. He is completely normal now, without any complaints.
"During the treatment on the field, he did not report any fainting or memory loss, he was conscious and oriented the whole time. We substituted him because he had minor complaints, he thought he was a little slower and there was some possibility of a concussion, so in cases of this suspicion, the recommendation is to substitute the player,’ Brazil doctor Rodrigo Lasmar was quoted saying by ESPN.
