Arne Slot drops fresh injury update on Alisson Becker

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has said that Alisson Becker is progressing well in his recovery from a hamstring injury sustained against Crystal Palace.

The Reds take on Arsenal on the road on Sunday and ahead of the game, Slot has revealed that Alisson is still far from making his comeback.

The Brazilian has yet to reach the end phase of his rehabilitation and the Dutchman said that a timescale can't be set until that happens.

He said: "He's progressing well, like we expect. But it's not a short-term recovery. It's always difficult to judge him.

"I think the best way to judge an injury is in the end of an injury, the end phase of his rehab, and he's not there yet."

In Alisson's absence, Caoimhin Kelleher has been brilliant in goal and he is expected to start between the sticks against the Gunners.

Liverpool will go into the game as potential favourites, considering Arsenal are without several key players for the key encounter.

William Saliba is suspended with Martin Odegaard injured. Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber are doubtful too.
