“Huge Liverpool announcement dropping this afternoon—straight from the official club account!”

“Breaking: Major Liverpool update coming from the official club account later today!

Meanwhile, Alisson Becker remains in contention to play in Liverpool’s Champions League match in Spain on Tuesday.”

The Brazilian goalkeeper has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury during Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in October. During his absence, Caoimhin Kelleher has stepped up impressively, helping the Reds stay on top in both the Premier League and the revamped European competition.

Alisson’s inclusion in Liverpool’s 19-man squad, revealed via the club’s official X account (formerly Twitter), suggests progress in his recovery as the team traveled to Catalonia on Monday. However, his availability to start against 30th-placed Girona remains uncertain.

Manager Arne Slot emphasized caution regarding Alisson’s return, stating:
“I’ve been clear about our stance on goalkeepers. Caoimh is performing too well to risk Alisson at less than 100%. He’s making progress and should be ready before the end of December.”

Given Girona’s position as a less formidable opponent compared to heavyweights like Real Madrid or Manchester City, Liverpool may choose to allow Alisson additional recovery time.

In the meantime, Kelleher continues to demonstrate his reliability, providing Liverpool with assurance in goal.

Liverpool’s 19-man squad: Alisson, Kelleher, Jaros, Gomez, Endo, Van Dijk, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Salah, Jones, Gakpo, Elliott, Robertson, Gravenberch, McConnell, Alexander-Arnold, Norris, Quansah.
