Liverpool boss Arne Slot couldn’t hide his joy after receiving a significant boost to his squad ahead of the Premier League trip to Fulham. After a challenging run of fixtures and several key injuries, Slot revealed that one of his important players has returned to training and could feature in Sunday’s match — a return he described as the perfect way to start the New Year.
The Dutch manager has been navigating a stretched squad in recent weeks, with multiple first-team stars sidelined. The potential availability of this returning player gives Slot fresh options as Liverpool look to reignite their campaign after a goalless draw with Leeds.
Liverpool currently sit fourth in the Premier League table, though they trail early leaders by a significant margin. Slot has stressed the importance of seizing every opportunity to climb higher, and having more players at his disposal — especially after a period affected by fitness concerns — is a welcome development heading into this crucial match.
With the Fulham game approaching, Slot has also offered updates on overall squad fitness and tactical preparations, urging patience and focus as his side aim to start 2026 with a positive result.
