Echo: Alisson returns to training, but Mamardashvili is expected to play next game

On October 31, Liverpool will face Villa in the league this weekend. The "Liverpool Echo" wrote an article about Liverpool's personnel situation. The article stated that Alisson has returned to the training ground, but Mamardashvili is expected to continue to start.

In defense, Kyle Keitz is expected to be the starting left back, but Robertson may also start against Villa. At the central defender position, Konate and Van Dijk will start. Bradley will be the starting right back, while Frimpong is absent due to a hamstring injury. Considering that the team is vulnerable to the threat of the opponent's direct play, Slott may also start Joe Gomez.

Alisson has returned to training after suffering a hamstring injury against Galatasaray a month ago, but Mamardashvili is expected to still be in goal against Villa. Alisson's injury is expected to improve given his recovery this week.

In the midfield and frontcourt, due to Curtis Jones' groin injury and McAllister not yet fully recovered, Hrafenbecher and Szoboszlai are likely to partner with double midfielders to face Villa. Salah will be the starting right winger, and despite Chiesa's outstanding performance in the League Cup, Gakpo is expected to still be the starting left winger.

The question is how will Slott arrange Wirtz? Is this a good chance for the Germany international to find his form? By the time of the game against Villa, it had been more than two months since Wirtz last started at Anfield. Liverpool's form has been sluggish in recent weeks. If he can be given more playing time, he may be able to ignite the team's attack. Next, Liverpool will face Villa and Real Madrid at home. These two focus battles should be suitable for Wirtz. The No. 10 position is crucial for him. On the front line, Ekitic will lead the game as Isaac is still recovering from a groin injury.
