Alexander Isak is in contention to return from a groin injury for Liverpool\u2019s Premier League match against Chelsea on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Sweden international made his comeback from an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture last month after missing 22 games for Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Isak has been eased back but suffered a groin injury during training last week which ruled him out of the 3-2 defeat away to Manchester United last Sunday.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Liverpool\u2019s \u00a3125 million signing returned to training this week and Arne Slot has confirmed that the striker could feature against Chelsea at Anfield in Saturday\u2019s 12:30pm kick-off.<\/p>\n

\u2018Alex trains with us again,\u2019 Slot said at his pre-match press conference on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u2018Only yesterday for the primary time. In order that\u2019s a positive. Yesterday he did parts of it, so hopefully he can do parts, or every little thing, today and let\u2019s then see how much we\u2019re going to make use of him tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u2018Giorgi [Mamardashvili] will train with us today for the primary time so let\u2019s see how he\u2019s going to react.\u2019<\/p>\n

Slot also confirmed that each Alisson Becker and Mohamed Salah remain unavailable.<\/p>\n

\u2018Alisson not yet, doesn\u2019t train with us yet but very near,\u2019 said Slot.<\/p>\n

\u2018Mo also not trained with us yet but can also be, like Ali, getting very, very, very near training with us.\u2019<\/p>\n

Slot also clarified why Ibrahima Konate and Florian Wirtz didn’t participate in training earlier this week.<\/p>\n

\u2018Ibou had a private reason to not be there, but he was there yesterday and today again,\u2019 Slot said.<\/p>\n

\u2018And Florian was a bit unwell but he trained with us yesterday also.\u2019<\/p>\n
