Liverpool’s number 10 Alexis Mac Allister has been confirmed to be back in Argentina’s training camp before the next match against Bolivia, played on Wednesday.
The midfielder didn’t feel well after Liverpool‘s last match against Crystal Palace in which Arne Slot substituted the player to get replaced with Dominik Szoboszlai after the half-time break.
In Argentina’s recent 1-1 draw against Venezuela, the player was benched with no playing time during the match after the coach decided to rest him due to a groin injury.
The good news for the fans is that Alexis Mac Allister has returned to training with his country and will be available for the 10th match in South America’s World Championship qualifiers. For the moment, Lionel Scaloni’s team is placed at the top of the league with 19 points, leaving Luis Diaz’s Colombia in second place with three points less.
Mac Allister has scored in only one match out of nine during the campaign, and the goal came in the 3-0 win against Chile when the player received an assist from Atletico Madrid’s new signing Julian Alvarez.
The 25-year-old has been excellent for Liverpool ever since his arrival in the summer of 2024 when Jurgen Klopp was still the manager of the Reds. Being one of the main players in the team, Alexis Mac Allister has started in almost every match for his team after leaving Brighton for only 35 million pounds.
In his first season in Merseyside, the Argentinian scored seven goals and provided seven assists for the team, marking a perfect signing for the Liverpool squad.
His 24/25 season is going well, starting in every match for Liverpool except in the 5-1 win against West Ham in the EFL Cup round of 16, where the Reds will face Brighton for the quarter-finals on 30 October.
Arne Slot’s team faces a tough challenge after the international break due to the busy schedule which starts on 20 October against Chelsea in Anfield. After winning seven out of six games, Liverpool is first in the Premier League table with 18 points, failing to keep the perfect form on against Nottingham Forest in which the Reds lost 1-0 in their own stadium.
Next for Mac Allister and his country is the Venezuela game in which Scaloni’s boys will try to achieve another three points so they can finish the international break at the top of the table.
