Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirms goalkeeper Alisson Becker is set to rejoin training today ahead of Sunday’s Premier League showdown with Tottenham Hotspur. The Brazilian missed the midweek Champions League trip to Galatasaray, where Giorgi Mamardashvili filled in effectively during the 1-0 defeat in Istanbul.
Alisson Becker’s Minor Injury Recovery
Alisson sustained a minor muscle tweak while passing the ball, prompting his absence. Slot provided an optimistic update, stating: “He felt something when he passed the ball in one of his muscles, but after we checked it, it was minor, so it didn’t take long, but games follow up so fast he had to miss Gala, but hopefully he is ready to play Sunday. If not, then definitely Gala on Wednesday.”
Federico Chiesa Overcomes Illness
Forward Federico Chiesa also sat out the Galatasaray match due to illness but shows signs of recovery. The Italy international, who has started just five matches across all competitions this season, is expected back in training today. Slot noted: “Chiesa, I expect, feels better and is able to train with us today.”
These returns bolster Liverpool’s options as they prepare for the crucial Tottenham encounter.
