Armin Pecsi has described Alisson as the "perfect" goalkeeper as he praised the pool of 'keepers that he works alongside at the AXA Training Center.

Pecsi joined Liverpool from Puskas Akademia last summer, and has consistently played for Liverpool's Under-21 side this season. He has also trained with the Liverpool first-team goalkeepers, which include Alisson and Giorgi Mamardashvili, and is a major fan of the Liverpool and Brazil No. 1.

"Every detail of him is so perfect and is the same every time," Pecsi told club media of Alisson. "He makes things look so easy – and this is the hard part, to learn this and to make this happen on the pitch.

"He's a really nice guy and it's good to see him in training – same with Giorgi [Mamardashvili] and Freddie [Woodman] because all of them are a little bit different. They're all top, top goalkeepers. From everyone you can learn from something."

Alisson missed Liverpool's game against Brighton prior to the international break, and subsequently missed Brazil's friendlies against France and Croatia.

Arne Slot gave an update on Alisson's recent injury

Arne Slot confirmed the goalkeeper will not return for this weekend's FA Cup game against Manchester City, as he gave an injury update on several players ahead of the trip to the Etihad Stadium.

Starting off with an update on Mohamed Salah, who also missed the game at Brighton, Slot said: "[He is] close, very close.

"Another example of what makes him special because the moment he got injured there was a bit of a situation where they thought, 'I don't think he's available for City.' But Mo looked at me and said, 'I think I will be available for City.'

"He just does so much for his body for such a long time that he recovers so fast. So, he will train with the team again tomorrow and if everything works well then he's available to be with us at City."

Slot continued: "Jeremie [Frimpong], the national team doctor of the Netherlands tells us that it was precautionary that they took him out. But he will have a scan later today to see.

"Alisson will be out for a bit longer. And Federico [Chiesa] indeed came back from the national team, where he wasn't able to play.

"But he trained with us today, so he will train with us tomorrow again and will be available for the game on the weekend."
