Liverpool were given a boost yesterday as Klopp confirmed that Alisson was back in light training.
The Liverpool keeper sustained a shoulder injury in a training session at the start of the month. It was first expected that this would keep him out of action for at least four weeks.
Klopp has given Liverpool fans hope after a positive press conference where he suggested that Alisson would be back sooner than expected. Although the manager did not confirm a specific return date there is speculation that it could be before the end of October.
This will come as good news for The Reds who have conceded 9 goals in their last 2 games in Alisson’s absence. Liverpool also suffered further setbacks in defensive options this weekend as Virgil van Dijk was ruled out with a long term injury. Recent events will undoubtedly leave Liverpool fans desperate for the return of Alisson to first team action.
The Brazilian made 37 appearances for Liverpool last season, securing their first top flight title since 1990. In doing so, Alisson kept 17 clean sheets in all competitions which have proved hard to come by for the Merseyside team in recent times.
Liverpool travel to Ajax tomorrow night for their first Champions League fixture of the season. With options currently light in the goalkeeper department it is likely that Liverpool will opt for the experience of Adrián.
