What Alisson Becker has been doing in international break as Liverpool future remains uncertain

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker was left out of the Brazil squad for the September and October international break by manager Carlo Ancelotti. The decision to omit several senior players followed Brazil's round-of-16 exit against Norway at the 2026 World Cup.

Ancelotti stated that the selection prioritized younger talent for friendlies against Australia and India to prepare for a new cycle. However, he emphasized that Alisson remains in contention to return as the starting goalkeeper for future major tournaments if he remains Brazil's top option.
