Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has provided an update on midfielder Alexis Mac Allister’s injury status, confirming that the No.10 will remain unavailable for this weekend’s highly anticipated clash against Manchester United at Anfield.
Mac Allister has been sidelined since sustaining an injury during Liverpool’s Premier League victory against Sheffield United last Wednesday. Klopp revealed that the injury, caused by an opponent’s stud going through the muscle onto the bone, is proving more complex than initially anticipated.
Speaking at a press conference before Liverpool’s Europa League tie against Union SG, Klopp explained, “Macca is actually a super-tough guy, so we have probably to make sure just from an infection point of view nothing happens. That’s really important.”
While Klopp expressed hope for Mac Allister’s swift recovery in the next three or four days, he emphasized that the midfielder would not be ready for the upcoming Manchester United fixture. The Liverpool manager highlighted the unique nature of this injury, expressing optimism but acknowledging the need for caution in Mac Allister’s rehabilitation process.
