Liverpool boss reveals Alisson Becker is back from injury | OneFootball

Sidelined by injury since the end of September, the Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker is expected to return to the goal for Liverpool this weekend, announced coach Arne Slot, who will not be able to count on Florian Wirtz or Conor Bradley.

After the FIFA break, the Reds will host Nottingham Forest on Saturday, which is in the relegation zone — an important match for the current English champion, who has lost five of the last six Premier League games.

For this match, the Dutch coach Arne Slot will be able to count on his starting goalkeeper, the Brazilian Alisson Becker, who was injured on September 30 during the defeat in the Champions League against Galatasaray, and has missed eight games since then.

“If he is ready to play, he will be the starter,” stated Slot.

The Brazilian's injury opened the door for the Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili to become the starter, signed in 2024, but who arrived in England only this year, after a season on loan to his original club, Valencia.

Not everything, however, is positive in the medical department at Anfield, as the international matches have taken a toll on the German Florian Wirtz and the Northern Irishman Conor Bradley.

“I don't expect Conor (Bradley) to be available in the next 22 days, unless a miracle happens. Florian's (Wirtz) absence shouldn't be as long,” revealed Slot in a press conference.

Liverpool will face a marathon of seven matches in the next three weeks, two of them in the Champions League — against PSV at Anfield, and against Inter Milan at San Siro.
