Liverpool may encounter a problem as it has been reported that Alexis Mac Allister suffered an abductor injury during Argentina’s 3-0 win over Chile on Thursday.
Despite continuing their successful World Cup qualifying campaign, Mac Allister’s performance was overshadowed by the injury.
Having scored the opening goal, Mac Allister is now experiencing pain and will be training separately from the Argentina squad until Tuesday as he prepares for their next match against Colombia.
Renowned journalist Gaston Edul has indicated that the midfielder’s condition is a cause for concern for Liverpool, particularly since Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni had previously mentioned Mac Allister was already dealing with muscle strain and discomfort before the match.
Although the injury doesn’t seem severe, Mac Allister might be rested for Argentina’s forthcoming game as a precaution, but he is anticipated to be fit for Liverpool’s next game against Nottingham Forest.
The 25-year-old has been a crucial player for Arne Slot, starting every game this season, and his absence could present a challenge for the Premier League team. The full impact of the injury will likely be clearer in the next few days.
