Liverpool Stars Salah and Alisson Return for Season Finale

Liverpool's Key Players Make Their Comeback

According to Главком: Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed the return of two pivotal squad members: Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker. Salah missed two matches due to a hamstring injury but is now set to feature in the Premier League's penultimate round against Birmingham-based Aston Villa. Alisson, the club's first-choice goalkeeper, has resumed training after recovering from an injury sustained in mid-March.

Arne Slot noted: 'Mo will only be available for a few minutes tomorrow. But we hope he can get on the pitch.'

Regarding Alisson, the coach added: 'Alisson is training with us again. We'll see how he feels tomorrow-whether he'll be ready or if we'll need to wait another week.'

Farewell to Mohamed Salah

These recoveries come amid reports that Mohamed Salah will definitely leave Liverpool this summer. The club and the forward have already announced his departure. Salah joined Liverpool in 2017 and has since become one of the most successful players in the club's history. Italian side Roma received €42 million for his transfer, and in his very first season, he became the Premier League's top scorer-a feat he repeated three more times.

During his Liverpool career, Salah has won numerous trophies, including:

• two Premier League titles,
• the FA Cup,
• the EFL Cup,
• the FA Community Shield,
• the UEFA Super Cup,
• the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup.

He was also named Premier League Player of the Season twice. Over his time at Liverpool, he has made 440 appearances, scoring 257 goals and providing 122 assists. In the club's all-time scoring list, Salah trails only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.

In the 2025/26 season, Liverpool started with a loss in the Community Shield, falling to London's Crystal Palace on penalties. They were then eliminated from the EFL Cup by the same Crystal Palace side. In the FA Cup, they reached the quarter-finals but lost 0–4 to Manchester City. In the Champions League, the Reds were defeated by PSG in the quarter-finals (0–2, 0–2). Currently, the team sits in fourth place in the Premier League.

Additionally, Juventus of Turin has shown strong interest in Alisson, with the Brazilian international reportedly agreeing on a contract with the Italian club. Alisson's current Liverpool contract runs until the summer of 2027. Meanwhile, Liverpool has set its sights on West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen, indicating the club's intent to strengthen its attacking options amid upcoming squad changes.

The returns of Salah and Alisson could significantly impact Liverpool's results in the final matches of the season, as both players are crucial to the team. At the same time, news of Salah's potential departure and Juventus's interest in Alisson suggests the club is preparing for major squad overhauls, which could shape their transfer window strategies. These developments underscore the importance of the current season for Liverpool as they aim to solidify their Premier League standing and regain success on the international stage.

As Liverpool prepares for a crucial match with Salah and Alisson back in the fold, the club is also eyeing the future. With the potential departure of Alisson, Diogo Costa has emerged as a promising candidate to step into the goalkeeper role. This strategic move highlights Liverpool's commitment to maintaining a strong squad as they navigate the post-Salah era.
