Slot gives update on Alisson fitness ahead of Spurs clash

Arne Slot has said Alisson Becker will be assessed ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

The goalkeeper missed the midweek Champions League defeat at Galatasaray with a muscular issue, with Giorgi Mamardashvili making two impressive saves as Liverpool left Istanbul with a 1-0 deficit to overturn next week.

The Georgian could be in line to start again against Spurs, as Alisson faces a race against time to prove his fitness.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Slot said Liverpool are ‘hopeful’ on the Brazilian but refused to confirm his availability. The Liverpool boss did confirm that Federico Chiesa is back after illness.

“He [Alisson] felt something when he passed the ball in one of his muscles, but after we checked it it was so minor we think it doesn’t have to take very long. But as always games follow up so fast that he had to miss the one against Galatasaray and hopefully he is available and ready for Sunday.

“If not, I am expecting him, if things go as planned, definitely against Galatasaray [on Wednesday].

“I expect he [Chiesa] feels better now because he felt unwell the day before the game. I think we are now three or four days further ahead so i think he is able to train with us today again.”
