Alisson’s fitness & Ballon d’Or claims discussed by Liverpool’s goalkeeping coach

John Achterberg is pleased with the progress being made by the Brazilian in his recovery from injury and has hailed the impact he has made at Anfield

Alisson is progressing well in his recovery from an untimely calf injury, says Liverpool’s goalkeeping coach John Achterberg, with the Brazilian still expected to return to action after the international break.

Initial fears regarding the Brazilian shot-stopper were eased after he broke down in a Premier League season opener against Norwich.

He was ruled out for weeks, not months, and has responded well to the rehabilitation programme he has been put on.
