Alisson, Liverpool's star goalkeeper, has been out of action for the team's last two games due to an injury. However, manager Arne Slot has hinted that Alisson may be ready to make his return against Wolves this weekend. The Brazil international had been dealing with a hamstring issue, but he was back in training earlier this week.
In Alisson's absence, second-choice goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher stepped up and performed admirably in the wins against Bournemouth and West Ham. However, the return of Liverpool's undisputed first choice will undoubtedly be a welcome boost for the team. Slot confirmed that Alisson has been training and is expected to participate in the full session today, indicating that he is ready to return to the pitch.
The manager expressed his satisfaction with Kelleher's performance, highlighting the depth and quality of their goalkeeping options. This is just one example of the team's strength in depth, as they have two or three strong options in many positions.
Liverpool continued their impressive start under Slot with a dominant 5-1 victory over West Ham in the Carabao Cup earlier this week. This once again showcased the attacking prowess of the team, as players like Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota scored two goals each. However, despite their impressive performances, they are not guaranteed to start against Wolves due to the form of Liverpool's other forwards.
When asked about the team's formidable attacking arsenal, Slot had two things to say. Firstly, he acknowledged the high quality of the players and their ability to create chances. Secondly, he highlighted the depth of the team, as any player selected for a game has the potential to contribute with goals and assists.
One player who has stood out for Liverpool this season is Luis Diaz. The Colombian winger has been in sensational form and has arguably been the team's best player so far. Slot praised his progress and stated that a player of his quality will always find a way to score goals. With Diaz and other talented players at his disposal, Slot is confident in his team's ability to continue their impressive run of form.
