Premier LeagueWolverhampton Wanderers v Liverpool: Team news

The Reds travel to Molineux on Saturday and are set to be boosted by the return of their No.1, who has missed their last two games due to a muscle injury.

During his pre-match press conference on Friday morning, head coach Slot said: “We think he is [ready to play].

“He trained yesterday a part of our session with the group, so we’re expecting him to do the whole session today. So, we think he is available but of course we have to train today.

“And of course we’re really happy with Alisson being back but I want to emphasise the fact that Caoimhin [Kelleher] did really well in the two games he was in goal for us, so another example of me having two, and I think even three, good options in certain positions.”

Harvey Elliott is out through injury but Slot reported no new fitness concerns.

Wolves, meanwhile, are contending with a virus within their squad, while defender Toti Gomes is being monitored ahead of the meeting with Liverpool.

Head coach Gary O’Neil told the media on Friday: “We’ll test him [Toti] again in the morning. He’s trained but he’s not fully fit. He’s getting closer. In an ideal world we’ll probably leave him longer, but we’ll see. [Dan] Bentley is fine now.

“There is quite a bit of illness at the moment, there are a few who will need a check on how they are feeling. Quite a few missed training today.

”Some of the lads will struggle for tomorrow, whether they don’t quite make it or are not fit enough to start. Sometimes it can clear up in 24 hours.

”We are hopeful that all of the guys who have had something over the last couple of days will be fine. But, as the doctors told me, at this stage it's difficult to give a definitive answer.”

Centre-back Yerson Mosquera will definitely be absent after he sustained a serious knee injury during last weekend’s defeat at Aston Villa.

O’Neil said: “He’s a great kid and I’m devastated for him. It’s a big loss to us. It’s a big blow to the team but it brings an opportunity to others. Alfie Pond is now a step closer, for example. He has a chance.”

Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic, Bastien Meupiyou and Boubacar Traore are all sidelined for the hosts.
