Liverpool have been dealt a staggering blow ahead of their Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain, with Alisson Becker ruled out for a significant period. Arne Slot confirmed the Brazilian goalkeeper faces a race against time to feature again this term, though the Reds have been handed a double boost with the return of Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak.

Alexander Isak has rejoined Liverpool's first-team squad at the AXA Training Centre after a lengthy absence. The Swedish international, sporting a new look, has successfully completed a gruelling rehabilitation process following surgery on a complex ankle fracture.

There was always a chance that Liverpool would announce a high-profile departure during the international break and, just three days after their latest Premier League setback at Brighton, the Reds confirmed that Mohamed Salah would be leaving at the end of the current campaign. The timing of the announcement surprised some, but Salah had successfully pushed for the news to be made public more than two months before the end of the season in what felt like an obvious attempt to control the narrative surrounding his painful and unexpectedly early exit.
