Alexis Mac Allister Injury: Suffers issue in training

Mac Allister suffered an issue in training in recent days which ultimately made him miss Monday's 3-2 victory against Newcastle, although he will hope to be available for Sunday's clash against Arsenal, coach Arne Slot said in a press conference, according to the Liverpool Echo. "We are hoping, yeah. He had to leave the training pitch two days ago. And that would not have been the biggest problem if he had a proper pre-season... I am hoping things improve in the next one or two days so he is available for Sunday."

Mac Allister was forced to end training early over the weekend after suffering from an issue due to his lack of preparation during pre-season as he was returning from injury and couldn't train at the same intensity as his teammates. The midfielder will be assessed in the coming days to determine if he can be available against Arsenal on Sunday. The issue does not appear serious but coach Arne Slot will take no risks to avoid a setback of his injury, and if he has to miss some time or start on the bench, Curtis Jones will likely replace him in midfield since Dominik Szoboszlai was the one playing as right-back against the Magpies.
