Liverpool have received a much needed injury boost after a tough week.

The Reds were denied a late winner by VAR in the Merseyside derby, with Virgil van Dijk also injuring his ACL in the match.

In good news for Liverpool fans, the Daily Star reports Alisson's recovery from a shoulder injury is progressing better than expected.

The Brazilian is expected to return to training soon and could be available to play by the end of October.

Summer signing Thiago Alcantara was also injured in the match against the Toffees.

He is expected to miss Wednesday's meeting with Ajax in the Champions League, but the injury is not considered serious.
