Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson aims to return to action this weekend, manager Arne Slot said on Tuesday.
The Brazil international is recovering from a hamstring injury and has been ruled out of Liverpool’s English League Cup third-round match against West Ham United on Wednesday.
Back-up keeper Caoimhin Kelleher replaced Alisson for the 3-0 win against Bournemouth on Saturday and is set to retain his place against West Ham.
Italian forward Federico Chiesa could make his first start for Liverpool against West Ham. Slot said the offseason signing is still working his way to full fitness.
I don’t think he’s able to play 90 minutes, he only played 25 now as a maximum in the last three, four, five months, he said. But, he is able to start, in our opinion.
