Liverpool may have one key player returning from injury in time for their Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest next Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Reds\u2019 poor run of form through the autumn has been made worse by several important absences, with Alexander Isak, Curtis Jones, Jeremie Frimpong and long-term ACL victim Giovanni Leoni all sidelined.<\/p>\n
Alisson Becker has also been missing since late September after picking up a hamstring injury in the Champions League defeat to Galatasaray, but the goalkeeper now seems to be edging closer to a return.<\/p>\n
When might Alisson return?
\nIn a Liverpool Confidential Q&A for Mail Sport, Lewis Steele responded to questions from fans about the current injury situation. He stated that the 33-year-old is \u201chopeful of being back\u201d in the starting lineup against Nottingham Forest in nine days, with his omission from Brazil\u2019s squad giving him extra time to recover on Merseyside.<\/p>\n
Although Mamardashvili has performed admirably since taking over in October, Liverpool will undoubtedly benefit from Alisson\u2019s calm and experienced presence as they look to reverse their recent slump in form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
