It's been a rough start to the season for Alisson, as he suffered a calf injury early into the Liverpool-Norwich match on the first day of the Premier League. He's been forced to stay off the pitch for the past seven weeks, also missing the UEFA Super Cup match against Chelsea. While his injury hasn't totally recovered, his recovery is going well and Alisson has returned to train with the team. Here are his words on his recovery:
“I’m on a good way, I think we are nearly there."
“I can go outside to the pitch to do some goalkeeper work and I feel very well. I feel confident and I think now it’s just about getting all my power, all my confidence to come back and do what I love to do.”
“It’s massive (being fit enough to work outdoors again) because if I look back, two weeks ago I couldn’t even walk properly. Now I’m running, jumping on my right leg that was injured so I’m really happy for that.
“It’s great. When you are a player you want to have the contact with the ball, with the guys on the pitch, the routine of training. It’s what I love to do.
“The games, the atmosphere at Anfield, the away games, all games when I watch on the TV, I just think how I want to play, I want to be there, I want to help my team-mates. I’m looking forward(to being back, I can’t wait any more!”
He then spoke on Adrian, his back-up keeper.
“He’s a special guy who came late in the season, he just came and shows everyone his value, not just as a player but as a person and that is the more important thing.
“He is doing very well on the pitch. I have peace to recover in a proper way so it’s better for everyone.”
