The loss of a loved one is difficult to bear at any time but the circumstances of this awful news must be very difficult to cope with.
Our thoughts are with you.— PepTeam (@PepTeam) February 25, 2021
We can’t even imagine what things must be like for Alisson at this time, we can only hope that the very religious Liverpool player can find the opportunity to be with his family at this time, if it is possible amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
