Arne Slot says Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker could make his return to the squad for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
The Brazilian is expected to rejoin training today after missing Liverpool’s trip to Galatasaray in the Champions League, during which Giorgi Mamardashvili deputised in goal ahead of the weekend clash with Tottenham.
Slot also shared a positive update on Federico Chiesa, who was absent from the Reds’ 1-0 defeat in Istanbul in midweek due to illness.
The Italy international, who has made just five starts in all competitions so far this season, is also anticipated to be back in training today.
Alisson and Chiesa Injury Update Emerges

Slot, as quoted by Liverpool Echo, offered a positive update on Alisson on Friday morning, saying the Brazilian could make his return against Tottenham on Sunday:
“He felt something when he passed the ball in one of his muscles, but after we checked it, it was minor, so it didn't take long, but games follow up so fast he had to miss Gala, but hopefully he is ready to play Sunday. If not, then definitely Gala on Wednesday.”
Slot also revealed Chiesa is ‘feeling better’ after missing the trip to Galatasaray in midweek and will make his return to training today:
“Chiesa, I expect, feels better and is able to train with us today.”
Alisson missed over a month of action earlier in the season due to a hamstring issue, while Chiesa has struggled for regular minutes under Slot.
The Italy international has made just one Premier League start in 2025/26 so far, in the 2-1 win over bottom-placed Wolves in December.
Liverpool will be looking to return to winning ways on Sunday after their 2-1 defeat to Wolves in their last league game.
