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.

As sunset falls on Lagos shore,
The city comes alive, forever more.
The sounds of Afrobeats fill the air,
As people dance and sing, without a care.

The smell of suya and jollof rice,
Fills the streets with flavors, a culinary vice.
The lights of the city, a twinkling show,
As Lagos pulses with energy, in every single go.

From Victoria Island to Ikeja's streets,
The city's vibrant spirit, forever repeats.
A melting pot of cultures, a blend of old and new,
Lagos, the city that never sleeps, forever true.

The hustle and bustle, the noise and the fray,
Are all part of the charm, of this city's way.
The resilience of its people, their strength and their might,
Are an inspiration to all, in the dark of night.

The city's rich history, its stories untold,
Are etched on the faces, of its people bold.
From the Brazilians to the Yorubas, and more,
Lagos is a city, where diversity is galore.

As night falls on the city, and the stars appear,
Lagos transforms into, a whole new sphere.
The music gets louder, the dancing gets wild,
As the city's vibrant spirit, forever unfurls.

So here's to Lagos, a city of delight,
A place where dreams are made, and hopes take flight.
May its energy and spirit, forever be told,
Lagos, the city that never sleeps, forever to hold.

Manchester City are reportedly leading the race to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson, a potential £50 million replacement for the injured Rodri, ahead of the January transfer window.

City are exploring midfield options following Rodri's injury in October, which is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the season. Although Rodri hopes to return late in the campaign, speculation about a new signing has intensified.

According to Calciomercato, City are targeting Ederson and are believed to be ahead of Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus in the pursuit of the Brazilian. Atalanta have reportedly set a €60 million (£50 million) asking price for the midfielder, who has made 17 appearances this season in Serie A.

However, Atalanta are said to have no plans to sell Ederson in January, though a significant offer from City could potentially change their stance.

Ederson has also been linked with Liverpool, who have reportedly monitored the 24-year-old extensively.

This transfer speculation comes as Pep Guardiola recently signed a contract extension with Manchester City, securing his tenure at the Etihad Stadium beyond the current season. The extension will see Guardiola surpass a decade in charge of the club.

Ronaldo for president?

The football legend has expressed his interest in leading the Brazilian Football Association.

He also shared what he’s currently doing to turn this dream into reality.

Ronaldo has plans of becoming Brazil FA boss. His first appointment could be Pep Guardiola. Details in comments.

Real Madrid is reportedly open to selling Aurelien Tchouameni, a player they signed for up to $106 million (€100 million), with interest already coming from Premier League clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool. The report, shared by OK Diario director Eduardo Inda on the Spanish TV program El Chiringuito, cites anonymous sources.

Tchouameni joined Real Madrid in June 2022 after Los Blancos outbid Liverpool, securing his transfer from AS Monaco in a deal worth an initial $85 million (€80 million), with potential add-ons pushing the fee beyond $105 million.

His arrival at Real Madrid coincided with Casemiro's move to Manchester United. Now, two years later, with the Brazilian midfielder no longer at his peak, both United and Liverpool are reportedly keen to compete for the services of the Qatar 2022 finalist.
