Liverpool goalkeeper Alexander Doni is set to return to the club in the next fortnight, having been absent since the club’s pre-season tour with ‘personal issues’.
The Liverpool Echo reports that the goalkeeper is set to arrive back at Melwood, having spent the last couple of months in Brazil.
The former Roma keeper will challenge Spain’s Jose Reina and current understudy Brad Jones for a place in the first-team, having fallen behind the Australian in his absence.
Doni joined Liverpool from Roma in July 2011, making just four appearances in his debut season in the Premier League, with opportunities limited behind clear first-choice Reina.
The former Cruzeiro goalkeeper has played 10 times for his country and is rated highly in his homeland, with stories of a possible return having emerged regularly during his stay at Anfield.
The exact cause of his extended absence has not been revealed by any of the parties involved.
