Alisson’s potential return to training could significantly impact Liverpool F C’s upcoming matches, especially with key fixtures against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace on the horizon. After missing seven games due to injury, his presence is much needed as the team aims for a spot in the Champions League next season.

Arne Slot, Liverpool’s coach, mentioned, “Ali hasn’t trained with us yet. [He is] very close to training with us.” This news brings a glimmer of hope for fans and players alike, considering Alisson’s vital role in the squad.

In his absence, Freddie Woodman made his first Premier League start against Crystal Palace. While Woodman performed admirably, the team still felt Alisson’s absence—especially during set-pieces, where defensive organization is crucial.

Milos Kerkez participated in Friday’s training session despite experiencing some niggles, showing resilience as Liverpool navigates through injury challenges. Meanwhile, Dominik Szoboszlai expressed disappointment after the recent loss at Old Trafford, stating, “Not good, as we go home with zero points.” He emphasized the need for improved focus: “We have to be more focused; we have to take more care of the details.”

The upcoming match at Villa Park is scheduled for May 17 at 12.30pm BST. However, if Aston Villa progresses to the Europa League final, this fixture may shift to May 15 at 8pm BST. Such changes add another layer of complexity as Liverpool prepares for these critical encounters.

Liverpool fans are hopeful that Alisson will return just in time to aid their push for Champions League qualification. The stakes are high as every point counts in the Premier League.
