Liverpool’s preparations for their upcoming Premier League clash against Chelsea have received a significant boost as key players return from international duty.
Arne Slot Receives Injury Boost as Liverpool Prepare for Chelsea Clash
Arne Slot, the Dutch manager who has made an impressive start to life at Anfield, will be glad to see some of his stars back in action ahead of the pivotal match on Sunday.
Among the players returning are Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Curtis Jones, and Kostas Tsimikas.
Slot will need to make tough decisions, particularly with Alexis Mac Allister and Luis Diaz, who are just returning from their international commitments.
Caoimhin Kelleher, the Irish goalkeeper, is also expected to start between the posts after recovering from illness.
He faced criticism during Ireland’s Nations League match against Greece after a costly mistake but received strong backing from his teammates, particularly Troy Parrott, who emphasized Kelleher’s mental strength.
In midfield, Mac Allister’s recovery from a groin injury provides a timely boost.
After missing Argentina’s draw against Venezuela, he is expected to return to full fitness just in time for the Chelsea match, a crucial fixture as Liverpool looks to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League.
