"Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is fit to return for the champions as the Premier League returns this weekend. The Brazilian, 33. has not featured since injuring his hamstring in September but is an option to start against Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday. Manager Arne Slot said: "Alisson trained last week and this week so he will be able to play tomorrow if things work out well today. "If he's ready to play, he will start.""
"Liverpool spent big last summer to bring in Wirt and Alexander Isak, among others. Asked about Liverpool potentially shoring up their squad in January's transfer window, Slot said that is the last thing on his mind. "There are so many games to be played before that," he said. "The only focus we have right now is winning games of football.""
"He also shrugged off a question about his team's chances of retaining the title. "We are not thinking or talking about it," the Dutchman said. "Same last season when we were top of the league, it is just about the next game. "The best way to judge a league table is after 38 games. The next best, in my opinion, is after 19 games. Let's see where we are then.""
Alisson Becker has returned to training and is available for selection after a hamstring injury sustained in September, with a possible start against Nottingham Forest at Anfield. He has not featured since the injury but trained last week and this week. Manager Arne Slot indicated Alisson will play if he is ready and things go well on matchday. Slot confirmed Conor Bradley and Florian Wirtz are unavailable following the international break. Liverpool invested heavily in the summer, signing Wirtz and Alexander Isak among others. Slot said January transfers are not a current focus, emphasizing winning the next games and avoiding talk of title retention.
