Liverpool fans have been reacting to the news that goalkeeper Alisson Becker has taken a “massive” step towards recovery and making his return to the first team.
The Brazilian shot-stopper has been out of the side since he was forced off against Norwich City in August. Former West Ham keeper Adrian was swiftly brought in on a free transfer after the brisk departure of Simon Mignolet to Club Brugge and has been putting in some good performances in Alisson’s absence.
The club’s official website announced that the newly-crowned Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper is making good progress from his calf injury and is now able to train outside.
“I’m on a good way, I think we are nearly there.”@Alissonbecker‘s recovery from injury is progressing well, with #LFC‘s No.1 delighted to have taken a ‘massive’ step forward recently… ????https://t.co/tVLocwi8Mh

Reds’ fans have been responding with glee about the prospect of the Brazil international returning to the first team, but at the same acknowledge the superb job that his Spanish replacement has done. One fan said that Adrian has been “outstanding“, but concludes once Alisson returns then it’s “game over” for Liverpool’s rivals.
Here you will find some of the best responses from Liverpool fans:
Adrian has done a fantastic job at filling the gap, full credit to him, he has been outstanding but once Alisson get’s back it’s game over for the rest of the league. #LFC

Take nothing away from Adrian he’s been outstanding… But Alisson is our number one and can’t wait to have back in goal!
