Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has confirmed that Alisson Becker is likely to be available for the clash against Wolves this weekend.

The Brazilian international has missed the last two games against Bournemouth and West Ham due to a thigh injury, with understudy Caoimhin Kelleher providing cover but, speaking in his pre-match press conference about Alisson on Friday afternoon, Slot said:

“We think he is [ready to return], he trained yesterday in a part of our session so we expect him to do the whole session today.”

“So we think he is available, but, of course, we have to train today. We’re really happy with Alison being back, but I want to emphasise on the fact that Caoimh [Kelleher] did really well in the two games he was in goal for us.”

Expected Return Date – Saturday 28th September v Wolves (a)

Harvey Elliott is still in rehabilitation as he recovers from an ankle injury he sustained in mid-September.

When the news emerged that the midfielder would be sidelined for several weeks, Slot said he was very disappointed, stating that Elliot would have played in upcoming fixtures:

“Harvey [injury] is a big disappointment for him but not just for him, also for us… First and foremost, a blow for himself and in the end also for us because I think availability is important in the phase of the season where we play seven games in 22 days. So, it’s a blow for all of us but he will work as hard as always to come back in the best possible way.”

A comeback after the next international break has been pencilled in, although no definitive timetable for his return has been provided.

Expected Return Date – Sunday 27th October v Arsenal (a)
