Liverpool extended their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a home victory against Brighton on Saturday, but the performance was far from flawless.
Though straight red cards typically result in a three-match ban, Alisson will only receive a one-match suspension – not three as originally thought. He will be back in the squad for following Premier League games against Bournemouth and Watford.
The length of punishment for red cards varies regarding the severity of the foul, and since Alisson was not involved in any malicious tackles or dissent, he will be suspended for just the one game.
Still, it's unfortunate for Liverpool, as the game that Alisson will miss is the Merseyside derby against Everton on Wednesday at Anfield.
