Confirmed: Incredible Liverpool star in contention to return today
Liverpool could welcome one star back to the team today. That's been confirmed.
Arne Slot has confirmed that Alisson Becker could return to the Liverpool lineup today against Crystal Palace. The Brazilian has been out since the middle of March with an injury.
Liverpool were dealt another blow at the weekend as Giorgi Mamardashvili, the clear replacement, went down injured against Everton. He's now out for weeks - potentially the rest of the season.
Freddie Woodman is the likely player to step in for now. Slot, however, made it clear that Alisson could be back later today. Though, it doesn't sound like anyone should get their hopes up.
"No Giorgi [Mamardashvili] will definitely not be available tomorrow and not for the upcoming weeks," Slot told a press conference on Friday. "Ali [Alisson] is close to returning to play. Let's see if tomorrow comes too early.
"That leaves Freddie [Woodman] as an option who is definitely fit."
Joe Gomez is also back fit, while Wataru Endo might play again this season as he continues his recovery. A few positive injury updates, then.
