Slot gives latest update on Alisson ahead of Man Utd clash | OneFootball

Arne Slot says he will not take a risk with goalkeeper Alisson against Manchester United.

The Liverpool boss has not ruled out the Brazilian returning against Liverpool’s fierce rivals having been out since last month with a hamstring injury.

But Slot insists he will be cautious with the 33-year-old’s return.

“He hasn’t trained with us yet but is very close to,” Slot said. “We will hear today from the medical staff if he can train today or next week.

“He’s very close but of course we don’t want to take any risks because that’s never what you do with a player and it’s not what we will do now.

“There is a difference between a player and goalkeeper (returning). If a player hasn’t trained for a few weeks, players need to run much more than goalkeepers do.”

Mo Salah is certain to miss Sunday’s clash, however, having suffered a muscular injury in the win over Crystal Palace last week.

But Liverpool and Slot are confident he will play again before he leaves the club at the end of the season.
