Latest Liverpool transfer news and rumours with updates on Alexis Mac Allister’s fitness as he suffers an injury while on international duty with Argentina.
Liverpool are off to a very impressive start to the 2024-25 Premier League season, sitting in second place behind Manchester City after winning their opening three fixtures, having not conceded a single goal.
The Reds, now managed by Arne Slot, who arrived from Feyenoord in the summer, team up together to look to keep their 100% record when they host Nottingham Forest on September 14 at Anfield, after the ongoing international break.
Their outstanding performances combined with the new management’s enthusiasm have created an increase of hope among both players and supporters.
Liverpool concerned over Alexis Mac Allister’s Injury
One of Liverpool’s problems is the availability of Alexis Mac Allister, who suffered an injury during Argentina’s 3-0 win over Chile.
The midfielder scored in Argentina’s 3-0 victory over Chile in a World Cup qualifying match in South America.
However, concerns about an injury forced him to be replaced in the 79th minute. The Argentinian manager, Lionel Scaloni, told the media that Mac Allister had been a doubt for the game because he had not trained in the lead-up to the game, and he’d felt muscle overload and pain.
Scaloni said that Mac Allister had been looked after and assessed by medical staff before being given the green light to play, but there were still injury issues worrying him. Liverpool would certainly be hoping this is not a serious injury, especially given how well Mac Allister has played for them so far this season.
After the interlude for international matches, Liverpool will experience a busy fixture schedule, emphasizing the importance of top players like Mac Allister returning fit and well. Injury concerns and fitness issues have the potential to affect the team’s rhythm as they attempt to carry on their strong start with Slot.
The Reds will ultimately want to retain their strong defensive stability and attacking fluidity to mount a challenge for the Premier League.
“Alexis is happy at Liverpool, and he’s only focused on performing for the club. But in football, you never know what the future holds. Right now, there’s nothing concrete,” said Alexis’s agent, emphasizing that the midfielder is fully committed to Liverpool’s project.
Liverpool fans will be eager for Mac Allister to return to full fitness as soon as possible, given his growing importance to the team.
For now, the club’s focus will remain on managing Mac Allister’s injury and ensuring he is ready to contribute in the crucial months ahead, while speculation about his long-term future continues to swirl in the background.
