Arne Slot has revealed Alisson will not be ready ready to take on Real Madrid in the Champions League next week, with a question mark still hanging over the head of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Alisson has been out since the beginning of October, after the Liverpool No.

Since then, the Brazilian has not featured for the Reds and will also miss this weekend's Premier League clash against Southampton.

And this absence is expected to extend into the visit of Real Madrid in Europe next Wednesday, with the Dutchman revealing he expects Allison to miss out alongside Diogo Jota.

There was a positive update when it comes to Alexander-Arnold though, with Slot claiming there could be a chance that the full-back could feature against the champions of Europe.

Alexander-Arnold was subbed off just 25 minutes into Liverpool's 2-0 win against Aston Villa two weeks ago.

He was then forced to withdraw from the England squad, and missed his nation's two victories over Greece and Ireland during the international break last week.

Despite the potential of a return in Europe next week, Slot did confirm that his right-back will not be ready for the trip to St.

Virgil is fine, he trained with us today and we expect Trent back soon." Following the trip to Southampton, a huge week awaits the Reds, starting with the clash against Madrid at Anfield.

Liverpool will then return to their home the following Sunday, with their title rivals Manchester City making the trip to Anfield
