Arne Slot's IMPOSSIBLE decision as Liverpool star teases return

Arne Slot is facing an enormous decision at Liverpool. One of the club's biggest stars has teased his return.

Alisson Becker has teased his Liverpool return on Instagram. The Brazilian was back working in the gym at the AXA, showing off that he's one day down towards his comeback.

Alisson has been out since October 5th in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. it's his second injury of the season and, worryingly, his second major injury of 2024.

But he should soon be back. He'll be linking back up with a Liverpool side in fantastic form, too, and the two-week international break should be massive for him.

How close is he? No one knows just yet. But it won't be too much longer before Alisson is back in contention.

And that gives Arne Slot a huge decision to make.

Arne Slot's decision

When Alisson is back, should he go straight into the team? At any other point in the last six years, that answer would be 'yes'.

But there are two reasons why Slot may decide to hold off. Firstly, Caoimhin Kelleher is in magnificent form, performing like one of the best in the Premier League.

Saturday once again saw him make two fantastic saves to keep Aston Villa out in what ended up being a 2-0 win. He's been doing similar stuff whenever he's played.

There's also just the fact that Alisson is looking injury prone. There's no great need to throw him straight back in from day one - or at least, no great need to have him play regularly.

We wonder if Slot may decide to rotate the two far more heavily this time around. Perhaps Alisson faces Manchester City, but for the games around that? Kelleher may be the safer bet right now.

It's a tricky one for Slot. And one he needs to get right given the size of the upcoming fixtures.
