Speaking in his pre-match press conference at the AXA Training Centre, our boss shared the latest updates on three key players \u2013 Ryan Gravenberch, Ibou Konate and Alisson \u2013 ahead of the 4:30pm kick-off.<\/p>\n
\u201cRyan is completely fit, although we still have to train twice, but, if you ask me now, he\u2019s completely fit,\u201d said the 47-year-old.<\/p>\n
\u201cIbou has come back to us, started his sessions again, and expected to train with us today. The third one is Alisson. He\u2019s not training with us, so he\u2019s out.\u201d<\/p>\n
The update confirms a double boost in midfield and defence, but a major absence in goal.<\/p>\n

Slot went on to confirm that our Brazilian goalkeeper is not only out for the weekend, but will also miss next week\u2019s fixture.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will not play in the weekend and also not next week,\u201d the Dutchman added.<\/p>\n
With Alisson sidelined, Giorgi Mamardashvili will retain his place in goal as he continues to deputise for our No.1.<\/p>\n
The Georigan keeper joined from Valencia this summer and has already impressed in limited appearances.<\/p>\n
Gravenberch\u2019s return comes as a timely lift, with the Dutch midfielder\u2019s availability being questioned<\/a> after his early substitution on international duty.<\/p>\n Konate\u2019s seeming recovery also strengthens the backline<\/a>, especially with Manchester United likely to target our full backs.<\/p>\n The French defender\u2019s pace and aerial dominance could prove vital even with his poor form.<\/p>\n Liverpool have already shown this season that depth and adaptability are key under Slot, and Sunday offers another test of those qualities as we look to continue our Premier League title defence.<\/p>\n The Reds are in a strong position despite the setback and once again, all eyes will be on how we cope without our world-class goalkeeper.<\/p>\n You can watch Slot\u2019s full pre-Manchester United press conference via Empire of the Kop<\/a> on YouTube:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
