Schlott calls for FA to review match schedule, says Alisson’s injury is unusual
Liverpool manager Arne Schlot has called on the Football Association (FA) to review the fixtures for both domestic and domestic leagues after first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker suffered a hamstring injury in the Premier League game at Crystal Palace on October 5 and is expected to be out until at least mid-November.
The game kicks off at 12:30 on Saturday, with Liverpool playing in the Champions League the previous Wednesday. Alisson has been struggling with injury for two games this season and was out for more than two months between February and April last season.
Schlott said that kick-off at 12:30 is not a problem because we train at that time. But what the FA should review is that if a team plays a midweek game on a Wednesday evening. Then playing the next game at 12:30 on Saturday is a disadvantage because of the risk of injury. For example, in the Dutch league, I am 99.9 per cent sure that if a สมัคร ufabet team is playing in the Champions League the following week. They will not play the game on the Sunday before. To give them time to rest and prepare for the Champions League. But in England, they don’t do that.
Schlot said that injuries to goalkeepers are not very common. But he is quite familiar with this issue because when he was in charge of Feyenoord, Justin Baijlow, the team’s goalkeeper, had frequent problems with injuries, especially muscles, which is not usually found. Therefore, these two people are considered exceptions. We tried to consider the cause because we know that if it happened once. There is a risk that the same problem will happen again. So we have to be extra careful.
