Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has been confirmed as the team’s vice-captain, but will not be permitted to wear the captain’s armband during matches due to Premier League regulations. The decision stems from rules limiting communication with referees to only the team captain. "Alisson confirmed as Liverpool vice-captain, but he will never wear the armband," Iraola stated. He further clarified that Premier League rules dictate that only the captain is allowed to engage in conversation with the referee during a game.
This means that despite holding the vice-captaincy, Alisson will not have the opportunity to lead the team on the field as captain, even when the primary captain is unavailable. The rules are in place to streamline communication between team captains and match officials, ensuring clarity and efficiency during matches.
