Arne Slot revealed there is a chance Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker returns from injury in time to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.
But Slot did not provide assurances over the Brazilianâs long-term future at Anfield as he prepares to enter the final year of his contract and amid reports he could move away this summer.
Alisson has been sidelined since Liverpoolâs Champions League win over Galatasaray last month while an injury to Giorgi Mamardashvili means third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman may be required on Saturday.
Mamardashvili suffered a nasty cut during the win at Everton last weekend, which forced Liverpool to hand Woodman his Premier League debut for the club as a second-half replacement.
âGiorgi will definitely not be available for tomorrow and also for the upcoming weeks. Ali is close to a return of play, so letâs see if tomorrow comes too early,â Slot said.
Liverpool have triggered a one-year extension to Alissonâs contract until 2027 but reports surfacing from have suggested could target the international this summer.
