Slot Press Conference LIVE - Alisson, Salah and Liverpool Injury Latest
Arne Slot said Liverpool will be without Mohamed Salah and may need a third goalkeeper as Alisson recovers from a hamstring injury.
On Friday, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot confirmed Mohamed Salah will miss Sunday's match against Manchester United at Old Trafford, while Alisson Becker remains a major doubt.
Salah sustained a minor muscle injury during the victory over Crystal Palace last weekend; Liverpool expects the forward to play again before his summer departure.
Alisson has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since March, while understudy Giorgi Mamardashvili is absent after sustaining a "large wound" against Everton, leaving Freddie Woodman as the recent starter.
Slot said in Friday's pre-match press conference that Alisson is "very close" to training, adding, "We don't want to take any risks" regarding his return.
A victory for Liverpool would move the team above Manchester United into third place, potentially securing Champions League qualification, with only 24 days remaining in the season.
