Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson close to first-team comeback

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is reportedly going through extra training sessions with the club as he looks to make a comeback after the international break.

The Brazil international sustained a calf problem during the season opener against Norwich City and he has since been on the sidelines with summer signing Adrian featuring between the sticks.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has recently highlighted that Alisson is not far off from making a comeback and ESPN reports that the Brazilian is now taking part in extra training sessions to get himself fight.

The Merseyside giants are scheduled to face Manchester United, Genk, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal before the end of the month and Alisson could make his comeback against the former on October 20.

Liverpool are currently at the top of the Premier League standings with the perfect start to the season. They are presently eight points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, who have succumbed to shock defeats to Norwich City and Wolverhampton Wanderers this term.
