While the news was positive for the outfield stars, Alisson Becker remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. However, in a surprise twist, GiorgiMamardashvili could be back sooner than expected to fill the void. The Georgian shot-stopper was initially feared to be out for several weeks with a gash sustained against Everton, but he is now back on the grass.
"Alisson not yet, Giorgi today for first time. Mo is very very close like Ali," Slot noted, indicating that while Mohamed Salah remains out for now, the injury list is finally starting to clear up.
