However, in the second half, he had to come off injured after a nasty collision.
Brazil’s doctor shares update on Liverpool star Alisson Becker’s injury
Liverpool crashed out of both, the Champions League and the Carabao Cup in the space of a few days before the international break.
The last thing they need now is injuries to complicate things further, but there was a scare late on Thursday night.
In the second half of the game between Brazil and Colombia, Alisson collided with Davinson Sanchez, who used to play for Tottenham Hotspur.
The two players clashed heads with significant force, and Alisson went to ground in a lot of pain.
After the medical staff attended to him on the pitch, Brazil decided to use their concussion substitution and took Alisson off.
In a press conference after the game, the doctor of the Brazilian national team, Rodrigo Lasmar, shared an update on the Liverpool star’s injury.
He said, as per CNN Brazil: “Alisson suffered a trauma to the head region, he was replaced by a suspected concussion. Now we will do all the CBF protocol, it will undergo recommended imaging tests, a computed tomography, then a resonance with diffusion.

“Alisson is normal, with no complaints. He reported no fainting and no memory loss. He thought it was a little slower. In this complaint, the recommended is the replacement of the player.”
