Liverpool get new update on Alexis Mac Allister’s injury as ‘minor issue’ report surfaces

Alexis Mac Allister is currently representing Argentina.

Mac Allister has participated in training with Argentina in preparation for their 2026 World Cup qualifier against Colombia. Despite experiencing discomfort in his adductor muscle during the international break, he played in La Albiceleste’s 3-0 win over Chile last week but was substituted in the 79th minute.

His condition has been closely monitored by Argentina’s medical team. Argentina will face Colombia tonight (21:30 BST), less than two months after their 1-0 victory in the Copa America final.

In their final training session in 32°C heat in Barranquilla, Mac Allister was present. According to Argentinean outlet Ole, this suggests that the 25-year-old “is fit to play against the Colombians.” Prior to the win over Chile, Mac Allister was reportedly “moving differently” during a session, but his injury from the match “was just a nuisance.”

Since joining Liverpool for £35 million from Brighton in July 2023, Mac Allister has been a key player, scoring seven goals and providing seven assists in 46 appearances during his first season at Anfield, helping the team win the Carabao Cup and secure a third-place finish in the Premier League.

This season, Mac Allister has been on the pitch for every minute of Liverpool’s three victories under new head coach Arne Slot.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Contract Position with Liverpool Differs from Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract is set to expire at the end of this season, alongside the contracts of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.

Reports suggest that Alexander-Arnold is more likely to sign a contract extension with Liverpool compared to Salah and Van Dijk. All three players are in the final year of their contracts at Anfield and would be available on a free transfer next summer if no new deals are made.

Liverpool aims to prevent this outcome, as all three remain crucial to the team under Arne Slot. Alexander-Arnold is viewed as the most probable candidate for an extension, given his deep ties to the club as a product of their academy and a lifelong supporter.

Salah joined Liverpool from Roma in the summer of 2017, while Van Dijk was signed from Southampton in January 2018. Retaining Alexander-Arnold could also be more advantageous due to his resale value, which is expected to remain high. At 25, he is significantly younger than Salah, who is seven years his senior, and Van Dijk, who is eight years older.

Football Insider reports that Liverpool sees Alexander-Arnold as a future captain and plans to offer him assurances regarding his role in the team. While Real Madrid is said to be monitoring Alexander-Arnold’s situation, the player is reportedly not eager to leave Liverpool and is more inclined to sign an extension than his older counterparts.

After Liverpool’s recent win at Old Trafford, much speculation focused on Salah’s comment suggesting this might be his final season at the club. Salah remarked: “I had a good summer and had a long time to myself to try to stay positive because as you know it’s my last year at the club. I just want to enjoy it and I don’t want to think about it. I feel like I’m free to play football and then we’ll see what happens next year.”

However, it’s believed that Salah’s comments were misinterpreted. Instead of indicating that this season would definitively be his last at Liverpool, he was referring to the fact that he is in the final year of his current contract.
