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

However, 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 first time. So that\u2019s a positive. Yesterday he did parts of it, so hopefully he can do parts, or everything, today and let\u2019s then see how much we\u2019re going to use him tomorrow.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

\u2018Mo also not trained with us yet but is also, like Ali, getting very, very, very close to training with us.\u2019<\/p>\n

Slot also clarified why Ibrahima Konate and Florian Wirtz did not take part in training earlier this week.<\/p>\n

\u2018Ibou had a personal reason not to 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
