Freddie Woodman could be in line for another start for Liverpool FC against Manchester United FC, with injury concerns continuing to mount in the goalkeeping department ahead of Sunday’s clash.
Alisson still a doubt
Alisson Becker has not yet returned to full training, despite hopes earlier in the week that he could be available for the fixture. Manager Arne Slot confirmed the Brazilian remains sidelined from group sessions, leaving his involvement highly uncertain.
Mamardashvili also ruled out
Adding to Liverpool’s concerns, Giorgi Mamardashvili is also currently unavailable through injury, further limiting Slot’s options between the posts.
Woodman in line again
With both senior goalkeepers potentially out, Woodman could be asked to step in once more.
He has already featured during this period and may now be trusted again in one of the season’s biggest fixtures, depending on late fitness updates.
Big pressure moment
A trip to Manchester United is never straightforward, and Liverpool could now be forced into a reshuffled defensive setup in a high-pressure environment.
Woodman’s possible inclusion would place him in a crucial role, with:
- Shot-stopping under pressure
- Organising a likely makeshift back line
- Handling a hostile away atmosphere
Final thought
Liverpool will continue to assess Alisson right up to matchday, but as things stand, the goalkeeper situation is far from ideal.
If neither senior option recovers in time, Freddie Woodman could once again be called upon to step into one of the most demanding fixtures of the season.
