Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker and striker Diogo Jota were both involved in the open training session that took place at the AXA Training Centre today with Arne Slot's squad nearing the double boost of their return.
Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley and Kostas Tsimikas are all still missing while there was no sign of Federico Chiesa. Slot will issue the latest on injuries during his press conference which will be held at 6.30pm UK time today (1.30pm ET).
After the Merseyside derby was postponed over the weekend, Liverpool has had some extra time to prepare for its European clash. A win, which would maintain its 100 per cent Champions League record this season, would also go a long way towards ensuring the Reds finish inside the top eight spots and avoid the extra play-off round in early 2025.
Alexis Mac Allister is fit at the moment but the midfielder is suspended for each of the next two games. He has been cautioned three times in the Champions League which means he has a one-match ban.
In the Premier League, his booking against Newcastle United took him to five yellow cards, which was initially set to rule him out of the Everton game. With that fixture postponed, he will instead serve his ban against Fulham next Saturday.
Girona will become Liverpool’s 138th different opponent in European competition when the sides meet tomorrow. The Reds have won 15 of their last 20 away Champions League matches, including 10 of the last 12.
Liverpool.com says: There is no need to rush back either Alisson or Jota but they are two nailed-on starters when they are 100 per cent and healthy. Having them back in contention will be a major boost for Arne Slot.
