Alisson back in light training for Liverpool

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has stepped up his recovery from a calf injury, with the Brazil international back in light training for Jurgen Klopp's side.

The 26-year-old has been on the sidelines since tearing a calf muscle in his team's 4-1 win over Norwich City on the opening night of the 2019-20 Premier League campaign.

A return date has not yet been set by the Reds, but Alisson has uploaded a video of himself taking part in a light training session with the message: "Starting the morning in a good way!"

Adrian - a free signing from West Ham United during the summer - has deputised for Alisson in recent weeks.

The Merseyside giants have won all four of their Premier League matches this season, with a total of 12 points leaving them top of the division.

Next up for the reigning European champions is a home game against Newcastle United on September 14 before travelling to Napoli for their first Champions League group-stage fixture three days later.
