Alisson: "I'm 100%. Missing games for Liverpool was part of the plan to make sure I was ready for the World Cup."
I honestly don't know how to feel about that. Love Alisson, best keeper I have ever seen, but that quote just doesn't sit right with me. Hopefully a quote lost in translation, rather than a player skipping Liverpool matches for that of his national team.

Hi Mango... Is that a snippet of a larger quote? As you say, hopefully lost in translation along the media pathway?. ✌

I for one would never doubt Ali's commitment to us.

I suspect it was just a case that he wasn't risked if he wasn't 100% fit.

Mistranslation, probably done intentionally just for a bit of headline; the original quote was "'...part of the process..." not 'part of the plan'.

He has missed 40 games over two seasons with injury. Who's to say if he stays for another year, he's not going to miss all of those.
