Positive injury updates for Mac Allister and Jones – Latest Liverpool FC News

Tuesday’s news brings positive news on the fitness of Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz‘s international manager sticking up for him, plus a concerning injury for a rival.

Today’s Main LFC Headline

It is hard to truly know if Alexis Mac Allister‘s injury latest is good news for Liverpool or still somewhat troublesome.

He was forced off early in Argentina’s first game of the break and subsequently missed training sessions with adductor discomfort before rejoining the main group on Monday.

It means Mac Allister is in contention for their meeting with Colombia on Tuesday evening (9.30pm UK) – which is the good news – but we really hope common sense prevails and he is rested.

There is no need to force minutes into his legs if it is going to aggravate the issue, especially not when Liverpool have a hectic schedule from Saturday onwards.

Please, Argentina, let’s just be sensible and allow Macca some res

Liverpool FC: On this day



On this day in 2016, Liverpool played their first game at a new-look Anfield, with the new Main Stand open for the first time – where have those years gone?

Leicester were the visitors, and Jurgen Klopp‘s side secured a 4-1 win over the reigning Premier League champions in front of a crowd of 53,075 – the largest at Anfield since 1977.

Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane both got on the scoresheet before Jamie Vardy pulled one back. Adam Lallana then struck after the break before Firmino doubled his tally late in the game.

Days like today really make you realise how fast time is flying!
