Alisson boosted his recovery from an abdominal problem by taking to the outdoor pitches during Saturday’s training session as 27 players were tested.
Liverpool’s second day in Austria saw training continue in earnest as Jurgen Klopp looks to maximize the limited time he has with his squad ahead of the start of the new season.
The coach has named 31 players for the training camp and 27 of them have been photographed taking part in the second session of the camp, with the notable presence of Alisson.
The Brazilian picked up an abdominal problem while in Thailand and the initial diagnosis was that he was expected to be fit for selection for the Community Shield meeting with Man City on July 30.
Alisson’s work away from the main goalkeeping group, however, has seen Liam Hughes given the chance to get more reps alongside Adrian and Harvey Davies.

And he appeared to step up his recovery work away from the main group on Saturday, a team notably missing Roberto Firmino, Kaide Gordon, Calvin Ramsay and Fabian Mrozek, who were not pictured during the session.
The absence of Gordon and Ramsay comes as no surprise after remaining at the AXA Training Center during the Asia tour due to respective injuries, with their rehabilitation work to continue away from the pack.
Elsewhere, Trent Alexander-Arnold was spotted using neuro11’s eye-opening technology, which collects data during sessions, which no doubt saw him work on his set pieces.
The work carried out by the neuroscientists was praised by Klopp throughout last season after winning both trophies thanks to a penalty shootout triumph.
