Alexis Mac Allister has played every minute of Liverpool’s Premier League season so far, with it quickly becoming clear that the midfielder will be an important player for Arne Slot just like he was for Jurgen Klopp last season.

Following the 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, the midfielder flew out to join up with the Argentina squad for the current international break.

Argentina, who won the Copa America over the summer, face Chile on Friday before travelling to Colombia for an away game.

Mac Allister may not be involved in the first match after he was unable to take part in the first training session.

TyC Sports quote Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni explaining the situation at a press conference today: “Alexis didn’t train because he was overloaded, he was in pain. It always happens to us, they come out to do their part. We’ll wait and see how he responds today. It doesn’t change our way of playing much because we’ll stay the same, but it’s true that he gives us play, set pieces. The rest of the team is more or less decided.”

Liverpool will be hope it’s nothing serious and that Mac Allister is fit, but they’ll also be keen he isn’t risked so will probably prefer it if the midfielder isn’t on the pitch against Chile.
