Alisson Becker’s wife Natalia has taken to social media to deny claims she has been arrested.
Natalia said she had been misidentified and was not involved in a case in Brazil where a man passed away following a chemical skin peel at a clinic.
It had been reported in local press that a female named Natalia Becker had been arrested in relation to the incident.
However, Alisson’s wife has taken to social media to clarify that she is not the individual in question.

On Monday, a male named Henrique is said to have passed away after undergoing an “aesthetic procedure” in Sao Paulo.
The surgery, known as phenol peeling, which uses a corrosive substance on the skin, led to the client feeling unwell and being taken from the clinic by ambulance to the hospital. The 27-year-old later passed away.
And Alisson’s wife Natalia, a paediatrician, has posted on social media to clarify that despite having the same name and medical background as the person arrested, she is not involved in the case whatsoever.
In an Instagram story to her 350,000 followers, she said: “I'm not the 'Natalia Becker' on the aesthetic clinic news.
“It's someone else having the same first and last name. Nothing related."
Alisson and Natalia have been married since 2015 when the former was a goalkeeper for Brazilian outfit Internacional, having met three years prior.
Natalia finished her medical qualifications in Brazil before moving to Italy, where her husband was playing for AS Roma. Upon starring in the Italian Serie A the Brazil international secured a move to Liverpool.
The couple now reside in Merseyside with their three children Helena, Matteo and Rafael.
Alisson is among a spate of players to have been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League in recent weeks.
Saudi Arabia is reportedly hoping to raid a host of the Premier League’s top talents with Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah also being eyed.
