Bad news for Liverpool fans: Jürgen Klopp confirms Alexis Mac Allister will continue to be absent from this weekend’s match against Manchester United

Following an ιnjury sustained during Wednesday’s Premier League victory over Sheffield United, the Liverpool No. 10 has been sidelined.

Mac Allister will miss Sunday’s Anfield match against United as well as Thursday’s Europa League match against Union SG. He was not included in the travelling squad for either match.

It seems like he might be able to play the following game, but he won’t be prepared for it either. I hope it doesn’t take too long; I would rather to sаy it’s day by day.

“Thus, I’m hoping he takes significant steps over the next three or four days, and then we’ll see.”
