Alexis Mac Allister has played down fears of an injury setback after departing Liverpool’s win at Crystal Palace with a groin complaint. Mac Allister was substituted for Dominik Szoboszlai at half-time at Selhurst Park on Saturday having been hampered by the issue during the opening 45 minutes.

The midfielder will undergo checks to ascertain the extent of any damage before a final decision is made over whether he should join Argentina for the imminent international break.

‌

Mac Allister is in the squad for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers in Venezuala and at home to Bolivia.

“I felt a slight discomfort during the game, but nothing that will stop me. Now fully focused on what’s ahead.”

Alisson is expected to withdraw from the Brazil squad and will have scans on the problem, with the Reds braced to be without the goalkeeper for a significant period.
