Alisson sustained a hamstring injury during the match against Crystal Palace last weekend and is likely to be sidelined until mid-November, following the international break.
Kelleher is set to start in up to seven games, which include Premier League clashes with Chelsea, Arsenal, and Aston Villa, as well as Champions League fixtures against Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen.
Caoimhín Kelleher has not conceded a goal in either of his two finals for Liverpool, facing a total of 13 shots on target from both matches.

The Cork-man has played 49 games for the Anfield side, and is arguably one of the best second choice goalkeepers in the Premier League.
However, this run of games, could give Liverpool manager Arne Slot something to think about as the Reds have signed Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia CF last summer – meaning Kelleher could end up third-choice goalkeeper at his club. A good run in the team could prove that Kelleher could be a competent successor – should Allison leave the club at the end of the season.
