Why is Alisson not playing for Liverpool vs Watford?
Liverpool return to Premier League action against Watford on Saturday without their star goalkeeper Alisson.
The Brazil international was on the bench for his country as they beat Uruguay 4-1 on Thursday evening.
Along with Reds midfielder Fabinho, the shot-stopper will have to sit out the clash at Vicarage Road.
Why is Alisson not playing?
Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp confirmed the goalkeeper and Fabinho would not be part of the squad for Saturday's match.
In addition to Brazil's game against Uruguay finishing in the early hours of Friday morning UK time, quarantine rules would have meant Alisson and Fabinho would also have had to go into isolation.
