Liverpool may be facing a setback as it has been confirmed that Alexis Mac Allister sustained an abductor injury during Argentina’s 3-0 victory over Chile on Thursday.
The Copa America champions continued their strong World Cup qualifying campaign, but Mac Allister’s night was marred by the injury.
Mac Allister, who scored the opening goal, is now experiencing discomfort and will train separately from the Argentina squad until Tuesday to prepare for their next match against Colombia.
According to reliable journalist Gaston Edul, the midfielder’s condition raises concern for Liverpool, especially after Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni revealed earlier that Mac Allister was already dealing with muscle overload and pain ahead of the match.
While the injury doesn’t appear to be too serious, Mac Allister may miss Argentina’s upcoming game as a precaution, but he is expected to be available for Liverpool’s next fixture against Nottingham Forest.
The 25-year-old has been a key player for Arne Slot, starting every game this season, and his absence could pose a challenge for the Premier League side. The extent of the injury will become clearer in the coming days.
