Mac Alisster Horrible news has been confirmed for Liverpool ahead of Liverpool match against Real Madrid in the Champions League. 🚨 Big problems for Arne Slot! 😬 Advantage Real Madrid
Arne Slot likely hoped for his squad to return to Merseyside injury-free after the international break, but Alexis Mac Allister’s situation may have dashed those expectations.
As reported by TyC Sports, the incident occurred during a match involving Peru, where Carlos Zambrano executed a rough challenge on Mac Allister.
The tackle, described as “a tremendous kick,” appeared to be met with lenient officiating despite its severity, as replays highlighted significant force directed at the midfielder’s left ankle.
Video evidence captured the intensity of the foul, making for uneasy viewing. While the 25-year-old managed to leave the field without assistance, he was taken off shortly afterward as a precaution.
Attention now turns to his recovery, with fans and staff eager to see if Mac Allister will be fit for Liverpool’s match against Southampton. His condition will likely undergo thorough evaluation before the game.
This is just one of several setbacks for Liverpool during the break. Virgil van Dijk had to leave the Netherlands squad early due to fitness concerns, and Darwin Núñez was substituted at halftime during Uruguay’s latest match, highlighting the toll international duty can take.
South American players, in particular, often face additional challenges, including lengthy travel and late fixtures, which can limit their availability for club matches immediately after returning.
With doubts surrounding the fitness of key players, the manager may need to adjust his lineup for the upcoming game at St. Mary’s, ensuring the squad remains competitive despite thes
e challenges.
