The Brazilian international ratified for the Premier League champs back in 2018 and he has been one of the best musicians at the club since then.

Alisson’s brother Muriel is also a goalkeeper, for Brazilian back Fluminense.

The 28 -year-old Liverpool star has had a tough season still further and he has been involved in a few high profile corrects 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.

Meanwhile, 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 society Internacional tweeted their condolences earlier.
