NewsLFC injury update: Salah to return, latest on Alisson, Konate and Wirtz
By Chris Shaw
The forward has missed the Reds’ past two matches due to a muscle injury but will be back in the squad at Villa Park.
Ibrahima Konate is also fit after being taken off in the second half against Chelsea last weekend, while Alisson Becker and Florian Wirtz will be assessed.
“Ibou is OK, trained with us,” said head coach Arne Slot at his pre-match press conference this morning.
“Mo will be available tomorrow for only a few minutes, but hopefully can come in.
“Alisson trains with us again, let’s see where he is tomorrow, if he is ready already or has to wait one more week.”
On Wirtz, he said: “Stomach infection, so let’s see how fit he is for tomorrow. He’s on antibiotics. Let’s see if he’s ready to play tomorrow.”
