Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has linked up with the Argentina national team in Miami despite picking up an injury during the Reds’ recent victory over Crystal Palace. The Argentina star was substituted at halftime and replaced by Dominik Szoboszlai after feeling discomfort in his groin during the first half at Selhurst Park, according to manager Arne Slot.
Mac Allister has traveled to join his national team ahead of their 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Venezuela and Bolivia, as reported by the Liverpool Echo’s Paul Gorst. The 25-year-old downplayed any injury concerns by stating on social media that it was just “slight discomfort” and he is fully focused on the upcoming challenges.
Argentina’s medical staff will evaluate Mac Allister’s condition before deciding on his availability for the matches. Liverpool will monitor the situation closely, with a crucial game against Chelsea coming up after the international break.
Although some fans might question the decision for Mac Allister to join the national team despite his injury, representing Argentina is a significant honor for the player. Both Liverpool and Argentina will work together to ensure the midfielder returns in good condition for the important clash against Chelsea.
