No reason was immediately given for the Brazil international's absence ahead of Tuesday's game in Istanbul.

Alisson played the full match in Liverpool's most recent outing, a 3-1 win at Wolverhampton in the FA Cup on Friday.

Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is likely to deputize for Alisson.
