Sharjah24 - AFP: Brazil goalkeeper Alisson Becker has returned early to his club Liverpool after suffering a bang to the head while on international duty, the Brazilian football federation (CBF) announced Friday.

The 32-year-old collided with opposing defender Davinson Sanchez in Brazil's 2-1 win against Colombia in South American 2026 World Cup qualifying action on Thursday.

Under FIFA's concussion protocol, Alisson left the field in the 78th minute and must take a break, meaning he will miss out on Brazil's clash with Argentina.

"Alisson, who suffered a head knock, is fine and has no medical complaints," a CBF statement read.
