Alisson and Firmino to be given extended break after Copa America

Roberto Firmino and Alisson Becker will be granted extended leave after the Copa America wraps up this weekend, according to the Echo.

The Liverpool pair will play their part for Brazil on Sunday in the competition final in Rio de Janeiro.

This marks the end of a long club and country campaign for both players which began last summer on the back of the World Cup.

The Reds stars will be given three weeks recuperation time after Sunday to recover ahead of the 2019/20 season.

They will miss warm-up games against Tranmere and Bradford City, along with Liverpool’s tour of the USA.

However, they’re both expected to be available for the match against Lyon in Geneva on July 31.

Alisson has kept nine successive clean sheets for Liverpool and Brazil, continuing his fine form, while Firmino has two goals and three assists in the Copa America so far.
