Alisson Becker was once again in training as Liverpool ramped up their preparations for the Premier League visit of West Ham United.

The Reds entertain the Hammers on Sunday afternoon aiming to take a step nearer a second title in five years, with Arne Slot's side currently 11 points clear at the summit of second-placed Arsenal with seven games remaining.

Alisson has missed the last two games due to concussion protocols after he suffered a head injury when featuring for Brazil in their World Cup qualifying win over Colombia three weeks ago.

But while the goalkeeper was part of the squad being put through their paces at the AXA Training Centre on Wednesday, he will not be able to resume playing until he passes the required concussion test he has failed before the win over Everton and Sunday's 3-2 loss at Fulham.
