Liverpool had hoped Alisson would pass concussion protocols and return after missing Wednesday’s Merseyside derby win over Everton following his head injury on Brazil duty over the international break.

But Alisson is not in the Liverpool squad and Kelleher plays at Craven Cottage.

Asked whether Alisson would be ready to return against Fulham, Arne Slot said on Friday: “With Ali, it is simple: it is a concussion and you have to tick all the boxes. The moment he does, he will be in goal. The moment he doesn’t, we are following the protocol.”

Curtis Jones continues at right-back after impressing there against Everton, with Conor Bradley back on the bench return.

Bradley is back after a hamstring injury, having been out since February.

Slot said: “Conor, we have to wait and see if he is ready to be with the squad for Sunday.

“Then of course Curtis is an option [at right-back] because he did well, but I think Jarell [Quansah] did well a few times in that position also. Let's wait and see which decision we make.”

Alexis Mac Allister starts after being on the end of a heavy challenge from James Tarkowski against Everton.

Confirmed Liverpool XI: Kelleher, Jones, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Jota, Gakpo

Subs: Jaros, Endo, Diaz, Nunez, Chiesa, Elliott, Tsimikas, Quansah, Bradley

Injured: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez
