Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is likely to miss Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester United at Anfield after failing to recover from a thigh injury sustained in the Champions League loss to Galatasaray. Manager Arne Slot admitted he would be surprised if the Brazilian is available for the match, saying, 'I will be surprised if he [Alisson] will be there for the first game after the international break.'
Ryan Gravenberch, who played only 45 minutes for the Netherlands due to a hamstring issue, described his withdrawal as precautionary. Ibrahima Konate also returned from France duty after failing to feature in their win over Azerbaijan, and will be assessed before the United match.
Wataru Endo missed Japan's friendlies against Paraguay and Brazil because of an injury, but could return for the weekend. Defender Leoni is out for around a year after tearing his ACL in the Carabao Cup.
Liverpool lost three consecutive matches before the international break, but have won all five home games this season.
