Alisson set to return for Liverpool against Girona as Arne Slot issues a challenge to the Brazilian.

Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, is set to make his return from a hamstring injury during the Champions League clash with Girona on Tuesday evening. The Brazilian has been sidelined since suffering the injury in Liverpool's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in early October.

During Alisson's absence, back-up goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has delivered impressive performances, helping Liverpool maintain their strong positions in both the Premier League and Champions League. However, Kelleher conceded a late goal in last week’s 3-3 draw against Newcastle United, following a streak of three consecutive Champions League clean sheets.

Arne Slot acknowledged the challenge Alisson faces in reclaiming his spot, given Kelleher’s recent form and contributions. The match in Spain marks an important step in Alisson’s return to action after over two months on the sidelines.
