We’ll see what kind of form Liverpool FC show coming out of the November internationals, but man, did this team badly need a reset. They only have two injury concerns right now, in defender Jeremie Frimpong and goalkeeper Alisson Becker. Both of which are nearing a return from their respective thigh/hamstring injuries. Reds boss Arne Slot made it clear the last time that he spoke to the media prior to the November internationals- their starting shotstopper will be back for the Nottingham Forest clash.
Frimpong, however, will not be ready in time.

Now of course things can and may change between now and the match, and when Slot assessed the situation, it was back at his most recent weekly Friday news conference, but here is what he said:
“Alisson for sure [after the break], and I expect Jeremie back after the international break as well because we play from November until March! But I don’t expect Jeremie to be fully fit for Forest, but with Alisson, we expect this.”
For Frimpong, it’s probably going to be an early December return.
