Alisson Becker was called up to Brazil’s final FIFA World Cup 2026 squad, with Carlo Ancelotti now providing an update on his injury. Juventus are known to be very keen on the Brazilian, and with questions still hanging over when exactly he will be back in action, fresh attention on his future is hardly likely to go away.Alisson remains one of the most highly regarded goalkeepers in the game, so it is no surprise to see a club of Juventus’ stature keeping a close eye on developments.From Liverpool’s point of view, however, the focus will simply be on getting him fully fit again rather than reading too much into outside interest.The fact his recovery has taken longer than initially anticipated naturally creates room for speculation, but the priority for all parties will be making sure he returns in the right condition rather than rushing him back too soon.But Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti has provided a new injury update on the 33-year-old.Speaking in his squad announcement press conference, the former Real Madrid boss has asserted that Alisson has been training for two weeks and that he expects the ‘keeper to be fit for Brentford on Sunday:“Alisson is returning from injury but has been training for two weeks.

He is doing normally, he is well, and I believe he will play the next game [v Brentford]. Even if he doesn’t play, he has time to be 100% for the first game of the [World] Cup,” Ancelotti said as translated by Diario AS.“The player finds himself well and took more time than necessary to recover well.

Now he’s going to play, and obviously he has time to prepare to be even better.”Ancelotti’s comments should offer some encouragement that Alisson is finally nearing the end of this frustrating spell on the sidelines, even if it’s just before the end of the season.Reds fans will be hoping that it does not prove to be Alisson’s final game in a Liverpool shirt.
