Slot confirmed Virgil van Dijk is available to face Southampton

The Liverpool centre-back had to leave the Netherlands training camp before the second game of the international break but the Dutchman is fit for the weekend's Premier League game against Southampton. "Virgil is all good. He is training with us today."

Another who has returned to Reds training as confirmed by Slot is Harvey Elliott, while Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota continue with their recoveries. 

“We are careful with everyone, especially when it comes to muscle injuries. But he is back in training with the goalkeeper coach. He is not training with the team yet, but that is expected to be done soon, and then let’s wait and see where he is in terms of match fitness. But he is getting better and better, but not ready to play on Sunday", said Slot about Alisson

“Trent isn’t training with us yet, but he is getting there so we expect him to be back with us soon. Jota is still apart from the group, same as Federico, who is coming back into the session maybe in one exercise today. They are all expected to be back within now and a few weeks, but the last part of the recovery is always the most difficult one. So, let’s wait and see. But Virgil is completely OK.”

Liverpool travel to Southampton looking to continue a seven-match unbeaten run in the Premier League and on Sunday they face a bottom-of-the-table Saint's side.
