On Friday, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp said Alexis Mac Allister’s knee injury “doesn’t look good”.
The midfielder suffered a setback in the Reds’ league win over Sheffield United last week. He initially carried on playing before being taken off after 57 minutes.
TyC Sports state the 24-year-old received two stitches and his injury situation ‘continues to be a concern’ for Liverpool.
On Monday, the Argentina international underwent ‘rigorous’ tests to find out the extent of the injury. It’s said the player hasn’t suffered ligament damage and has only suffered a ‘strong blow’ to his knee.
However, the World Cup winner could miss this clash and also a few more games as TyC Sports state he ‘will have approximately 15 days of recovery’.
This means the South American would miss matches against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise [Europa League], Manchester United and West Ham United [EFL Cup]. The outlet adds his availability for the league games against Arsenal and Burnley needs to be confirmed.
Mac Allister has managed a goal and two assists from 18 games this season.
