This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello and welcome to the latest Liverpool Echo Blood Red podcast.

I'm Matt Addison here as we look back at the Merseys

Garvey and plenty more talking points that have followed since.

Absolutely loads for us to get into this afternoon,

but before we do that I should probably

introduce our guests today Ian Doyle Joe Rimmer and Connor Dunn all join me

gents it's been a busy day of news how are we all getting on? Not bad.

Sound.

Fine yeah yeah. It always gets confused in this because you ask us all at the same time so

I never know in what order we should answer.

No not a problem well we are all doing okay that is the main thing and I suppose

we should probably start with some positive news on Alice and Becker it was

initially thought in that he would be out until the next international break, but that has today been a little bit of an update on him.

Well, yeah, I mean, the latest that we've heard is that he's just started kind of training in the last couple of days.

He's basically not working with the team yet, but he's working individually a bit of one-on-one session where he's doing a bit of diving and a bit of falling over which as we know is is quite good for a goalkeeper and a striker in need for penalties actually when you think about it anyway. But yeah, the suggestion I mean

Yergen Club said it on Friday at night and he said that he's in a very good shape.

He wasn't going to put any timeline on it, but the indication then is that when we first thought that he'd be out for six weeks,

perhaps it wouldn't be the case and it now seems as though

while Liverpool are still putting you know they don't want to put a target for when they

expecting to be returning but the the kind of mood is that he may be back be by the end of the month I think it's the West time game.

It's on Saturday a week on Saturday I think it is.
