Injury newsLiverpool to check on Alisson Becker fitness ahead of Bournemouth
Arne Slot revealed the goalkeeper missed Thursday’s training session and his condition will be checked by the club’s medical team to determine whether he can participate in Friday’s workout.
The head coach told his pre-match press conference: “Alisson is still a doubt if he can train today, so let’s wait [to see] if he can train.
“Then, if he can’t then he will probably not play as well, so we have to wait and see.
“Apart from Harvey Elliott, [there are no other injuries].”
Asked about the nature of the issue Alisson has sustained, Slot added: “He has a slight issue with one of his muscles and we wonder if this game tomorrow is coming too early or not.
“I think he did not take it from the Milan game, it happened a bit before, but after the Milan game he felt more and more.
“Now we have to wait to see if he is ready to be in goal tomorrow, or we have to wait a few more extra days.”
