Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker will miss Saturday's Premier League clash against Fulham due to a muscle injury. The Brazilian has sat out the last three matches, during which Liverpool suffered three defeats and conceded eight goals while scoring just once. Manager Arne Slot confirmed Alisson is working hard to return but won't be in the squad for this crucial fixture.

In better news for the Reds, club-record signing Alexander Isak made his return from injury in a 13-minute cameo against Paris Saint-Germain. The £125m striker has managed only 16 appearances since joining from Newcastle, dealing with fitness issues and a significant ankle injury sustained in December against Tottenham. Isak underwent surgery for a fibula fracture after a tackle by Micky van de Ven.

Slot expressed relief at having Isak available again, noting the team's struggles to convert chances into goals. The manager hopes to gradually increase Isak's playing time after his successful rehab period. However, Slot also voiced concerns about the fitness of Jeremie Frimpong and Joe Gomez, declining to confirm whether they'll feature against Fulham. With Liverpool teetering on the edge of dropping out of the top five, Isak's return could prove pivotal for their season.
