Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister has eased concerns about a potential injury after being substituted due to an issue during the Reds’ match against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
After Liverpool’s 1-0 victory, Arne Slot revealed that the Argentine midfielder was taken off at halftime due to some discomfort in his groin, with Dominik Szoboszlai replacing him.
This raised concerns among fans, especially with the international break approaching.
However, Mac Allister reassured everyone post-match by addressing the situation on social media, stating it was just “slight discomfort” and confirming he expects to join Argentina’s national team next week.
The Copa America champions face Venezuela and Bolivia in their 2026 World Cup qualifiers, as they aim to strengthen their lead in the standings.
“Great win for the team today, these are the moments that make us stronger,” Mac Allister shared on Instagram.
“I felt slight discomfort during the game, but nothing that will stop me. Now fully focused on what’s ahead.”
While Mac Allister’s update is a relief for both Liverpool and Argentina, he will likely be further assessed upon joining his national squad.
His importance to both teams is clear, having played every game for Liverpool this season and featured in both of Argentina’s September matches.
If fit, Mac Allister is expected to play significant minutes during the international break, and Liverpool will closely monitor his condition.
