Reds handed big boost as Arne Slot looks to extend lead
Liverpool will remain without goalkeeper Alisson Becker for Sunday’s Premier League trop to Southampton.
Arne Slot takes his table-topping side to Southampton on Sunday, looking to pick up where they left off before the international break.
The Brazilian international returned to training during the international break after a hamstring injury but will not be available for the journey to the south coast.
Virgil van Dijk, however, is fit after returning from Netherlands duty early.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to miss out too, though there is hope he can return before the Real Madrid game in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Harvey Elliott is back in training, while Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa are still some way weeks from training.

"Virgil is all good, he's training with us today, Trent isn't training with us yet, but he's getting there so we expect him to be back with us soon,” said Slot.
"Harvey is training with us again, so that's a positive, he's been out for many weeks but he's on the training ground again with the team so that's a positive for him.
“Jota is still away from the group, the same as Federico who is coming back into the session maybe one exercise today, so they are all expected to be back within now and a few weeks.”
Liverpool predicted XI: Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Diaz, Nunez
Doubts: Elliott, Alexander-Arnold
Injured: Jota, Alisson, Chiesa
