Liverpool's Loris Karius retains No. 1 shirt as Alisson takes No. 13

Liverpool have assigned new goalkeeper Alisson Becker the No. 13 squad number for the upcoming campaign, while Loris Karius continues to occupy the No. 1 shirt.

Alisson, who joined Liverpool from Roma in a £56 million deal last month, already sported the No. 13 for his two appearances in Liverpool's preseason, and the club confirmed on Friday that would remain the case this season.

The Brazilian goalkeeper, who will have "A. Becker" on the back of his jersey, is set to make his Premier League debut on Sunday against West Ham United.

His transfer fee was the highest ever for a goalkeeper until Chelsea paid £71.
