Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is back in first-team training and could feature in the final Premier League match of the season against Brentford, manager Arne Slot has confirmed. The Brazilian has been sidelined with a hamstring injury but trained with the squad last week, though he was not included in the matchday squad for Friday's 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa.
Slot said: 'Alisson, trained with us, let's see where he is.' Giorgi Mamardashvili has deputised in goal during Alisson's absence, but the club hope the experienced shot-stopper can return before the season ends.
Alexander Isak missed the Villa match with a minor injury, but Slot expects him to train this week and is hopeful he will be available for the Brentford game. The Sweden international has had an injury-hit first season at Liverpool, including a broken leg earlier in the campaign. 'He missed pre-season and then broke his leg. We've tried to be as careful as we could,' Slot explained.
Jeremie Frimpong also sat out the Villa defeat with a minor hamstring issue and could be in contention to face Brentford. The full-back has struggled with hamstring problems throughout the season.
Long-term absentees Hugo Ekitike (ruptured Achilles) and Conor Bradley (knee surgery) are out for the season, while Wataru Endo has returned to training after an ankle injury but his availability for the final match remains uncertain.
