Liverpool have received a huge boost ahead of a crucial period for the Reds as Alisson Becker has been spotted in training following a long-term injury lay-off.
The Brazilian goalkeeper has been sidelined since picking up a hamstring injury during Liverpool’s 1-0 win against Crystal Palace at the start of October and has been replaced by Caoimhin Kelleher in recent weeks. The Irishman’s performances have seen him linked with a move to Chelsea.
Alisson is expected to return in the current international break and the cameras in and around the Merseyside club have saw the 32-year-old return to training.
This is a huge boost for Arne Slot as the Dutch manager has some tough fixtures over the next two weeks as the Premier League giants travel to Southampton at the weekend, ahead of two home games against the Real Madrid and Man City.
It is not known whether Alisson will start against the Saints on Sunday, but his return to training suggests that his comeback will be very soon.

Alisson’s return is a big boost for Liverpool and Arne Slot
Alisson has been one of Liverpool’s most important players since moving to Anfield in 2018 as part of a 67 million poundsl with AS Roma.
The Brazilian has won everything for the Merseyside outfit and has played 271 games for the Reds, keeping 119 clean sheets.
The only criticism that has ever been sent Alisson’s way is the veteran star’s tendency to pick up injuries. The 32-year-old misses a lot of action for a goalkeeper, but on his day he is arguably the best in the world.
Slot will no doubt be delighted to have the Brazilian back as the Dutch manager’s side look to build on their impressive start to the 2024/25 campaign.
