Arne Slot confirms ‘outstanding’ Alisson fit to start for Liverpool against Girona
Brazilian goalkeeper has been sidelined since OctoberLiverpool coach keen to avoid Champions League playoff
Alisson could make his Liverpool return against Girona in the Champions League at Montilivi on Tuesday night after Arne Slot confirmed that he is ready to start again.
The Brazilian goalkeeper has not played since sustaining a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace at the start of October. But he completed training on Tuesday morning, flew to Spain with the team and the Liverpool coach suggested that he could start, saying that the difference he makes “speaks for itself”, even though it would be difficult to improve on the performances of his deputy Caoimhín Kelleher over the past two months. Slot also said he would pick as strong a side as possible, even though Liverpool have a five-point cushion in their push to qualify directly for the last 16 of the restructured Champions League.
