Liverpool supporters have been anxiously awaiting clarity on Giorgi Mamardashvili’s condition ever since the Georgian was stretchered off midway through Sunday’s 2-1 Merseyside derby win over Everton.
The 25-year-old, deputising for the injured Alisson Becker, sustained what Arne Slot later described as an “open wound” to his knee after colliding with Beto and Andy Robertson as the Everton striker bundled home an equaliser, forcing the keeper off on a stretcher and thrusting Freddie Woodman into an unexpected Premier League debut.
With Alisson still working his way back from a hamstring issue, any prolonged absence for Mamardashvili would leave Liverpool’s goalkeeping cupboard looking uncomfortably bare heading into a crucial final stretch of the season.
Now reliable Georgian journalist “Geo Team” on X has reported that the goalkeeper will return to training in around three weeks:
“Per my information, Giorgi Mamardashvili will be back in 3 weeks! Understood, last night the Georgian had an open wound stitched. The recovery of the wound will determine the mobility of his knee, so the expected time to return training is 3 weeks.”
