Diogo Jota scored the only goal of the game in the ninth minute after poor defending from Crystal Palace.

Liverpool goalkeeper, Allison limped off in the encounter due to a hamstring injury, while Alexis Mac Allister was also substituted in half time.

Arne Slot also became the first-ever Liverpool manager to win his opening four Premier League away games in charge of the club following wins against Ipswich, Manchester United, Wolves, and Crystal Palace.

Liverpool have now won six out of their opening seven Premier League games this season.

He said, “The latest is that we don’t know but what we do know is that if a player walks off like he did, that normally means that he is not in the Brazil squad and I don’t expect him to be in the team in the first game we play after [the international break].

“We have to wait and see, but it is going to take a few weeks I assume for him to be back. I think it is [his hamstring].”

He also confirmed that Mac Allister has a groin concern.

He said, “He went off because of an injury, but how bad it is is difficult for me to judge in this moment.

“He could have continued playing, like you saw, because it didn’t happen one second before half-time, but he felt it a bit too much and he said he didn’t think it was good to keep on playing because you never know if you will make it worse.

“Now, what is the exact situation, can he go to Argentina? Can he play over there? That is difficult for me to tell you now, It’s an issue in his groin area.”

Liverpool will take on Chelsea on October 20 at Anfield after the international break.
