In a pre-match interview before Liverpool’s clash against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane this weekend (via the Liverpool Echo), Jurgen Klopp provided an update on Alisson Becker’s injury rehabilitation and said, “Ali is in a good way.
“He had a full session with the goalkeeping coaches yesterday. He is getting closer and closer.
“Ali isn’t in contention for tomorrow, but it looks like maybe he can train with the team from Sunday on. Don’t know 100%, but it’s really close.”
The fact that the Brazilian shot-stopper is set to resume training with Klopp’s first-team will be a welcome bit of news for anyone associated with the Merseyside club. Alisson was one of the most integral members of Klopp’s squad last season. Hence, the Reds will be desperate to see him back in training with the senior side next week.
Alisson’s Incredible Form For Both Club And Country
The 26-year-old made 51 appearances for the European champions last season, conceding 34 goals while securing 27 clean sheets across all competitions. His outstanding contributions for the Reds were recognised when he was named the UEFA Men’s goalkeeper of the year. He also won the Best FIFA Men’s goalkeeper of the year award for his incredible achievement for both club and country.
There is no doubt that Alisson is currently one of the best goalkeepers in world football. He has also earned 42 international caps for the Brazilian national side and managed to win the Copa America with his nation earlier this summer.
What Are The South American Shot-Stopper’s Best Attributes?
Alisson boasts terrific reflexes which allow him to pull off some world-class saves at the back. The Brazil international can read the game well and tends to always be at the right place at the right time. However, what makes the Liverpool goalie such a special talent is his ability to distribute the ball accurately from the back.
Alisson Set To Resume Training From Sunday: Big Boost For Klopp?
Having Alisson back for training next week will be a huge boost for the Merseyside giants and their chances of keeping their remarkable winning run going in the Premier League. With some important fixtures coming up for the Reds on all fronts, Klopp would need his star custodian back if he wants his side to challenge for multiple trophies this season.
