- Liverpool manager Arne Slot has indicated that goalkeeper Alisson Becker is nearing a return from a hamstring injury, but it remains uncertain if he will be fit to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.
- Second-choice goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is definitely unavailable for the Crystal Palace match and for several weeks due to a significant cut sustained in last weekend’s Merseyside derby.
- Should Alisson not recover in time, third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, who made his Premier League debut for Liverpool as a substitute last weekend, would be required to start against Crystal Palace.
- Despite Liverpool triggering a one-year contract extension for Alisson until 2027, reports from Italy suggest Juventus may be interested in signing the Brazilian international this summer.
- Slot declined to comment on transfer rumours regarding Alisson's long-term future, stating his focus is solely on getting the goalkeeper back on the pitch as soon as possible.
