What happened. Alisson Becker's appointment as Liverpool vice-captain is unlikely to lead to him wearing the armband, even when Virgil van Dijk is not on the pitch.

• Alisson is vice-captain but may not captain the team.
• Virgil van Dijk remains the primary captain.
• The reason behind this decision is not specified.

This suggests Liverpool's captaincy hierarchy may have unspoken rules or preferences.
