Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is set to make a significant return from injury, providing a major boost to the team ahead of their crucial clash against Manchester City. The Brazilian international has been sidelined with a hamstring issue, but recent updates confirm that he is on track to be available for selection on November 9, 2025. This potential return comes at a pivotal moment for Liverpool, as they prepare for a high-stakes Premier League fixture.

Alisson’s absence has been keenly felt by the Reds, with backup options stepping in during his recovery period. His leadership and shot-stopping ability have been missed, and his comeback is expected to strengthen Liverpool’s defensive resilience. Manager Arne Slot has expressed cautious optimism, noting that Alisson has progressed well through his rehabilitation and is nearing full fitness. However, the final decision on his inclusion in the matchday squad will depend on how he responds to the final stages of training.

While Alisson is set to return, Liverpool will still be without their star striker Alexander Isak, who remains a major doubt due to a groin injury. Isak was forced off at half-time during the Frankfurt match on October 22 and has not featured since. Slot has ruled him out of the starting lineup against Manchester City, though there is a slim chance he could be included in the squad if he recovers in time. Isak’s fitness struggles have been a recurring theme this season, especially given his lack of a proper pre-season with the club.

Liverpool will head into the Manchester City game without any suspensions, meaning the only concerns are injury-related. The return of Alisson is a timely boost as the Reds look to maintain their title challenge and secure a positive result against one of their main rivals.
