Arne Slot CONFIRMS Alexis Mac Allister fears but has one MAJOR question

Arne Slot has confirmed fears over Alexis Mac Allister and a potential injury. The Liverpool boss has one major question, however.

Arne Slot has confirmed that Alexis Mac Allister is injured and that’s why he was removed at half-time during Liverpool’s 1-0 win at Crystal Palace. The Argentine appeared to be in discomfort before the break when he was swapped out for Dominik Szoboszlai.

“He went off because of an injury, but how bad it is is difficult for me to judge in this moment,” he said, per Liverpoolfc.com.

“He could have continued playing, like you saw, because it didn’t happen one second before half-time, but he felt it a bit too much and he said he didn’t think it was good to keep on playing because you never know if you will make it worse.”

But Slot also had a major question about the injury. What would this mean going into the international break?

“Now, what is the exact situation, can he go to Argentina?” he asked. “Can he play over there? That is difficult for me to tell you now.

“[It’s an issue] in his groin area.”

Alexis Mac Allister injured

That is the major question. Argentina will want Mac Allister, certainly, and may be prepared to take a risk here. A risk that Liverpool would much rather they didn’t take.

The midfielder isn’t the only concern, of course, with Alisson Becker also leaving the match early. He’s got a hamstring problem and it appears that Slot isn’t too optimistic about that one.

This is also a muscle problem – and one that could end up being a serious problem if Argentina aren’t careful here. If they choose caution here, though, the international break presents a perfect opportunity for Mac Allister to rest up and recover.

Time will tell what happens, and we’ll be waiting along with Arne Slot.

Thomas Clark

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.

Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.

Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
