Reds' Alisson set to return for Wolves clash

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker will be available for the Sept 28 English Premier League game at Wolverhampton Wanderers, said manager Arne Slot, who was quick to praise his replacement Caoimhin Kelleher and the enviable depth of his squad overall.

Kelleher played in Liverpool's 3-0 league win over Bournemouth on Sept 21 and the 5-1 League Cup third-round thrashing of West Ham United on Sept 25 while Alisson recovered from a muscle injury.

"We think he is (ready to return)," Slot said of the Brazilian.

"He trained yesterday for part of our session. We expect him to do the whole session today.

"We're really happy, but I want to emphasise we did really well with the two games with (Kelleher). Another example of where we have two or three good options in some positions." That leaves midfielder Harvey Elliott as the Reds' only injury absentee.

Liverpool, second in the league standings, trail champions Manchester City by a point and have just one loss across all competitions in a strong start to Slot's tenure.
