Alisson will train with Liverpool on Friday and Alexander Isak will join the session for the first time, at least in part, as Arne Slot gave the squad a small boost ahead of Sunday’s game. Slot also stopped short of confirming whether Mohamed Salah will be in the squad, leaving one of the biggest selection calls unresolved for Gameweek 38.
It is a welcome lift after Gameweek 37, when Jeremie Frimpong, Alisson and Isak all missed out. Slot said both goalkeepers and forwards were moving in the right direction, describing the pair as a positive sign for the club as it closes out a season that brought Liverpool their first league title in five years. The manager, however, would not be drawn on whether Salah would feature, saying only that he never speaks about team selection and would be surprising people if he did now.
That uncertainty matters because Liverpool’s final league game arrives with several other players still unavailable. Hugo Ekitike remains out with an Achilles injury, while Conor Bradley, Stefan Bajcetic, Jayden Danns and Giovanni Leoni are also sidelined with knee or hamstring problems. Wataru Endo, who had hoped to play before the end of the campaign, has instead been named in Japan’s squad for the FIFA World Cup.
Slot’s comments on Salah also came against the backdrop of the forward’s recent remarks, which have been a talking point around the club. The manager said he and Salah share the same interest: Liverpool’s success. He pointed to last season’s title as proof of what that partnership delivered, but made clear his attention is on finishing the present campaign as strongly as possible rather than opening up a wider debate.
For Fantasy Premier League managers tracking Liverpool game today updates, the key frame is simple: Alisson and Isak are edging back into contention, Salah is not yet confirmed, and the list of absentees remains long. Liverpool head into Sunday with some renewed hope, but not yet with full clarity.
