Liverpool are ready to attack another difficult looking run of fixtures after the international break.

The third pause of the season so far has finally finished, with club football now set to take centre stage once again.

For Liverpool, that means games against Real Madrid, Manchester City, Everton and Newcastle are on the horizon

Thankfully, the Liverpool squad looks to have been given a huge boost since their last game against Aston Villa.

In the intervening 10 days or so, Alisson Becker and Harvey Elliott both appear to have returned to full fitness and are in training.

And as Alisson made his long-awaited comeback on Tuesday, Mohamed Salah was there to provide some behind the scenes footage.

Mohamed Salah shares Alisson Becker video

In Alisson’s absence, Caoimhin Kelleher has stepped up like he always does. The Irishman has been impeccable to keep Liverpool on the right path.

But despite claims that Kelleher shouldn’t be dropped when Alisson returns, there is no question that the Brazilian is still Liverpool’s best goalkeeper.

Alisson will no doubt be desperate to prove that once again, especially with the threat of Giorgi Mamardashvili’s impending arrival.

Happily, the 32-year-old looks all set to be back for Liverpool’s match against Southampton on Sunday.

Salah seems to be indicating as much, anyway. Taking to his Instagram stories on Tuesday afternoon, the Egyptian shared some goings on from the Liverpool training ground.

Videoing himself in the mirror of the AXA Training Centre’s gym, Salah pans the camera around to capture Alisson hard at work.

Working with head of rehab physiotherapy Lee Nobes, Alisson stands with his hands on his hips as he is put through a drill by the Liverpool coach. Good to see the big man back.

Liverpool video confirms Alisson’s return

Salah’s video was posted early on Tuesday and was perhaps missed by many Liverpool supporters.

It is also relatively ambiguous as to whether Alisson is actually back to fitness or is simply doing preparation for when he is.

However, a video posted by Liverpool’s official X account much later in the day appears to confirm that the No.1 is in full training.

Alisson can be seen wandering around the changing room by the AXA pitches, greeting all of the Liverpool academy players who were involved in Tuesday’s session.

Adorned in a training kit caked with mud, it looks fairly obvious that Alisson has been diving around trying to stop balls going in nets.

Kelleher has been brilliant, but we can’t wait to have Ali back again.
