Coach Arne Slot has provided an update on Alisson, who missed Liverpool’s defeat to PSV in the Champions League due to illness.

“Ali trained with the team again today (Thursday), so we expect and are counting on him,” said the coach.

Slot also commented on the situation of Florian Wirtz, who has missed Liverpool’s last two games due to a muscle problem. The midfielder is expected to complete his final day of rehabilitation on Friday and, if there are no setbacks, will be able to train with the squad on Saturday, increasing his chances of returning.

Another recent absence was Hugo Ekitike, who started the match against PSV but had to leave in the second half due to back pain. According to the coach, the expectation is that the forward does not have a serious injury, although the close schedule of matches requires caution in deciding whether he will be available for the next game.

Finally, Slot highlighted that Joe Gomez is close to regaining enough rhythm to play more minutes, but still needs careful physical management.
