Alisson Becker Returns: Liverpool Boosted for Forest Clash

Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson Becker is poised to return for Saturday's fixture against Nottingham Forest, offering a welcome lift to manager Arne Slot's squad. Becker has been sidelined for seven weeks with a hamstring injury and is expected to feature at Anfield. This return comes as Liverpool aims to regain momentum after a difficult run of form.

However, the team will be without Conor Bradley and Florian Wirtz, both of whom sustained muscle injuries during the international break. Bradley is anticipated to be out for three weeks. Manager Arne Slot dismissed speculation about January transfer window plans, stating his sole focus is on securing victories in upcoming games.

Slot also addressed the emotional toll of losing former player Diogo Jota, acknowledging the deep impact on teammates and expressing empathy for his family. While recognizing the player's absence, Slot firmly stated that it would not be used as an excuse for performance.
