Manager Arne Slot confirmed this news during a press conference on Friday. Caoimhin Kelleher, who ably filled in for Becker during his absence, will likely resume his role as the backup goalkeeper.
Slot expressed confidence in Becker’s readiness to participate in Saturday’s upcoming match against Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, a team currently facing challenges in the Premier League.
“He trained yesterday a part of our session with the group, so we’re expecting him to do the whole session today,” Slot said at his pre-match press conference.
“So we think he is available but of course we have to train today.
“And of course we’re really happy with Alisson being back but I want to emphasise the fact that Caoimhin did really well in the two games he was in goal for us, so another example of me having two, and I think even three, good options in certain positions.”
Liverpool currently holds the second position in the Premier League, trailing the reigning champions, Manchester City, by a mere one point. The team has secured four victories in their initial five matches.
Slot, who is in the nascent stages of his leadership following the succession of Jurgen Klopp, acknowledged that while the start has been positive, there is still room for improvement.
“I think it’s been a positive start, with the small disappointment of losing at home against Nottingham Forest,” he said.
“Every home game you lose is a disappointment, especially if it’s not against a team that’s competing for a top-four position, although you never know what Nottingham Forest are going to do this season.”
The Dutchman added: “The style we play, the way we play, it’s still very close to what you guys were used to for nine years, which is quite normal because we almost have all the same players Jurgen had.
“Keeping the results going is a good thing. Again, I have to mention that the fixture list has been good to us.”
