Slot will bring Kelleher back for tonight's Carabao Cup quarter-final at Southampton in what will be his 13th appearance of the season.
Alisson (inset) has only made 10 because of hamstring and thigh problems and Kelleher has helped keep Liverpool's quest for Premier League and Champions League glory on track.
The Reds will finally let Kelleher leave in the summer when Giorgi Mamardashvili arrives from Valencia and Slot hopes he will not have to use the Republic of Ireland No.1 as much in the second half of the campaign.
"It's one of the most difficult jobs in football, if the first goalkeeper is always available, because you work for the whole season and you hardly ever have a chance to play because you normally don't come on 10 or 15 minutes before the end," said the Kop boss.
