Liverpool have been handed a major boost as Alisson Becker is set to return to training this week ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
The champions sit a disappointing eighth in the Premier League and resume their campaign under growing pressure on Arne Slot, whose side were dismantled 3-0 by Manchester City before the break.
With Liverpool needing momentum quickly, Alisson’s recovery arrives at a crucial moment.
The goalkeeper has been sidelined since September 30th with a hamstring injury, a spell that allowed summer signing Giorgi Mamardashvili to impress in his absence.
Slot, speaking before the trip to the Etihad, confirmed the Brazilian’s return and hinted that Jeremie Frimpong is also edging closer, though not yet ready for Forest.
According to The Standard, Alisson is expected to rejoin full training in the coming days and will look to reclaim his place immediately.
Liverpool’s home crowd will demand a response, and victory over Forest has become essential as the champions attempt to revive their fading title challenge.
