Alisson Becker is back in training with Liverpool ahead of the Community Shield match against Crystal Palace. After leaving Liverpool’s pre-season tour in Asia due to a personal matter, the goalkeeper has resumed full training with the squad, signaling his likely start in the August 10 fixture. Alisson, who had to miss the rest of the summer tour following the Asian friendlies while attending to his off-field commitments, appeared for the first half of Liverpool’s 4–2 defeat to AC Milan in Hong Kong before being replaced.

During his absence, Liverpool continued pre-season preparations with Giorgi Mamardashvili and Freddie Woodman as options in goal. Mamardashvili, who replaced Alisson mid-game against AC Milan, has openly expressed his ambition to challenge Alisson for a starting role. Meanwhile, Woodman, recently signed on a free transfer from Preston North End, has praised the opportunity to train alongside world-class goalkeepers like Alisson and Mamardashvili, aiming to learn and improve his own game.

The club’s manager, Arne Slot, has maintained confidence in Liverpool's depth in the goalkeeper position despite Alisson's temporary leave. Liverpool’s pre-season schedule includes friendlies such as one against Yokohama F. Marinos in Tokyo and an unusual double-header against Athletic Club at Anfield.

Alisson’s timely return to training ensures that he is prepared to defend Liverpool’s goal in the upcoming Community Shield clash, an important event marking the beginning of the competitive season. The goalkeeper’s presence is crucial for Liverpool as they continue to build momentum ahead of their domestic and European campaigns.
