Virgil van Dijk wants change at Liverpool after 'unacceptable' season
Liverpool have been handed a massive injury boost as Arne Slot confirmed that Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker were ready to return to action.
Both have been sidelined for periods with respective problems, with Salah dealing with a “minor muscle injury” that the Reds confirmed late last month, and Alisson out with a hamstring issue.
Now, however, as the reigning Premier League champions prepare for their trip to Villa Park on Friday, Slot has issued good news regarding the two stars.
The Dutchman said that Salah would be ready for “a few minutes” against Villa, while he also revealed that first-choice goalkeeper Alisson was back in training.
He also issued an update on defender Ibrahima Konate, who was forced off in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea.
Florian Wirtz, the big-money summer signing, has been struck down with a stomach bug but is fighting to feature at Villa on Friday.
“Konate is OK, trained with us. Salah is available for a few minutes but hopefully can come in. Alisson, trained with us, let's see where he is.
“Wirtz - stomach infection so let's see how fit he is. He is on antibiotics."
