TOKYO — Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has left the club’s preseason tour of Asia for a personal matter.The Brazil international was not involved in Tuesday’s open training session held at JFA Dream Field in Tokyo in sweltering conditions.

It emerged that Alisson has been given permission by Liverpool to leave Japan and won’t feature in Wednesday’s final match against Yokohama F Marinos at Nissan Stadium.The 32-year-old will rejoin Arne Slot’s squad after their return to the UK.This means that summer signing Giorgi Mamardashvili, who arrived from Valencia, is expected to start Wednesday against the J1 League strugglers.

Slot still has plenty of cover, with goalkeepers Freddie Woodman, Armin Pecsi and Kornel Misciur also on the tour.Alisson is the third player to leave Liverpool’s tour of Asia.
