It has been strange to be without Alisson for so long this season.
The Brazilian ended up missing 15 games between the start of February and mid-April.
In his absence, Liverpool kept their season afloat.
Caoimhin Kelleher stepped up brilliantly for the large part to ensure that the Reds are still fighting upon Alisson’s return.
But despite Kelleher’s excellence, there’s no question that the 31-year-old coming back is a major boost for Liverpool ahead of the run-in.
And, thankfully, speaking to LFCTV last night, Alisson said that he’s feeling in even better shape than before his injury.
“It was hard but I have a strong family on my side, my kids, my wife, the physio department, everybody helped me a lot to be back in good shape,” say the goalie.
“I feel better than I was when I got injured so that’s a good sign.
There’s no need to play the 25-year-old if Alisson is available.
As a result, we’d be absolutely stunned if Liverpool don’t have their No.1 back between the sticks in Italy.
