Liverpool boss Arne Slot has provided fitness updates on six Reds stars including Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak ahead of their Premier League clash against Chelsea on May 9 (Saturday).<\/p>\n
Speaking in a press conference before the home game against the Blues, Slot confirmed Alexander Isak returned to training after a groin issue that kept him out of their loss against rivals Manchester United. He added that Alisson and Mohamed Salah are unlikely to feature against Chelsea as they missed training but are very close to full recovery from their respective injuries.<\/p>\n

He also provided updates on Florian Wirtz and Ibrahima Konate’s availability for the PL clash against the London club. He said:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n “Alex trained with us again yesterday for the first time. All good. He did parts of it, hopefully he can do parts or everything today and we see how much we are going to use him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Alisson not yet, Giorgi today for first time.Mo is very very close like Ali.Ibou had a personal reason for not training on Wednesday but was yesterday and today and Florian was a bit unwell but trained yesterday as well.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Liverpool will look to bounce back after a 3-2 loss against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The Reds will feel they are favorites as they come up against Chelsea who are winless in their last six Premier League fixtures.<\/p>\n As things stand, teams require 62 points to secure automatic qualification for the UEFA Champions League next season, Liverpool currently sit on 58 points in the league, they need to win one game and get one draw in their remaining games to achieve feat. The Reds will hope to win their upcoming game against an out of form Chelsea to get closer to their target.<\/p>\n In the same presser, Slot revealed what he expected from Chelsea ahead of Liverpool’s home game against the London club. He anticipates a tough game from the visitors and admitted he has an idea regarding what to expect from Calum McFarlane’s team. He said:<\/p>\n “If our information is correct then they will have a few players back to make them stronger. That will be massive for them.Always a difficult game for both teams. Lot of very good individual players, let’s hope we have a very good team performance as well.All managers have their own idea about football, they’ve had three this season. Current manager is closer to what Maresca usually did, so has a very clear identity how they play. Clear what to expect. Usually three centre-backs.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n
