Liverpool can finally breathe after several weeks marked by poor results and a worrying list of injuries. This weekend, Arne Slot’s team will recover two key players: Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker and German playmaker Florian Wirtz, both cleared to return to action against West Ham United.

The Reds come into the match after three consecutive defeats, the latest a painful 4-1 loss to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. The absence of Alisson due to illness and the loss of Wirtz through muscular issues had weakened the squad at a crucial point in the season, but Slot confirmed that both are set to return.

Alisson and Wirtz Ready to Come Back

In his press conference, Arne Slot explained that Alisson has already completed the latest training sessions with the group and will be available for this weekend’s match. The Brazilian missed the trip to Eindhoven, forcing the team to improvise in goal during a difficult night for Liverpool.

As for Florian Wirtz, the coach noted that the player is entering the final stage of his rehabilitation this Friday. If everything goes as planned, the German international will rejoin full training on Saturday, opening the door for his immediate return to the squad list.

Wirtz missed the previous two matches due to muscular discomfort, a setback that hindered Liverpool both in their offensive creativity and overall rhythm. His return represents a much-needed boost for a team searching for stability amid recent inconsistency.

Ekitike, a Last-Minute Doubt

The situation is different for Hugo Ekitike. The French striker was forced to leave the pitch against PSV with a back issue, and his availability will depend on how he progresses over the next hours. Slot confirmed that his condition will be evaluated until the last moment, leaving his presence in doubt for the clash with West Ham.

Liverpool approach this weekend with the obligation to pick up points to halt a slide that has cost them ground in the Premier League table. The return of key figures like Alisson and Wirtz could mark the turning point the team needs to regain solidity and competitiveness in the coming weeks.
