How to ignore keys pushd

I have a bash script in which it is necessary to specify keys and parameters. I created a command for it using alias.
alias command="pushd /path; ./somescript.sh; popd"
After the script does the work, I need to return to the directory from which the script was called.
But I get an error:
bash: popd: -o: invalid number
popd: using: popd [-n] [+N | -N]
Language of my sistem is not English, I'm sorry if in the original it looks differently.
What I should to do?
bash shell-script bashrc

"I need to return to the directory from which the script was called". The script will not change your current directory in the interactive session.

Rather thanpushdandpopd, justcdin a subshell:(cd /path; ./somescript). That won't help if you callcommand -o(for that, see ilkkachu's example of a function)

Rather than
pushd and popd, just cd in a subshell: (cd /path; ./somescript). That won't help if you call command -o (for that, see ilkkachu's example of a function)– Fox

This works fine:
$ alias foo="pushd /; ls -ld ./tmp; popd"
$ foo
/ ~
drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 4096 Dec 25 19:30 ./tmp/
~
But if you need to pass parameters to the middle command of the alias, you'll need to use a function instead. Otherwise the parameters are just added to the end of the alias, so they go as parameters to popd.
Do this instead:
something()
pushd /path > /dev/null
./somescript.sh "$@"
popd > /dev/null
something -o blahblah
Using command as the name of the alias/function might not be the best call, it's a shell builtin that's used to call external commands, skipping functions with the same name.
