So we expect him to be back in the final part of the season, but not for Sunday.”The Liverpool manager was then asked for an update on Alisson, who is currently being covered for by third-choice option Freddie Woodman.Woodman impressed in his first Premier League start for the club last week and may need to be called upon again unless the Brazilian is able to return to training before Sunday, which he is yet to do.When asked about Alisson’s fitness ahead of Man Utd, Slot stated: “Ali hasn’t trained with us yet, very close to train with us, so I have to hear today from the medical staff if he’s able to train today.“He’s very close, but also we don’t want to take any risks.
