“Alisson is still doubtful if he can train today, so we wait (to see) if he can train,” Slot said of Alisson. “So if he can’t, he probably won’t play as well, so we’ll have to wait and see.
“Other than Harvey Elliott, (there are no other injuries).”
The Liverpool The boss continued: “(Alisson) has a little problem with one of his muscles and we’re wondering if this game tomorrow comes too soon or not. I don’t think it took him out of the Milan game, it happened a bit earlier but after the Milan match he felt it more and more.
“Now we’ll have to wait and see if he’s ready to be in goal tomorrow, or we’ll have to wait a few more days.”
