problems in the Liverpool FC and the Argentine national team. In the preview of the game against Union Saint Gilloise in the Europa League, coach Jürgen Klopp expressed great concern about the injury sustained by his player Alexis Mac Allister in the win against Sheffield United in the Premier League last Wednesday.
According to the German strategist, “Macca” is suffering from a very deep cut on his knee and even alerted all the fans of the Reds and the Albiceleste because it was an injury that had never happened before to one of their players.

How was Alexis Mac Allister's injury?
What did Jürgen Klopp say about Alexis Mac Allister?
“I had never seen this injury in any of my players, but now we have it,” the German first said at a press conference and then explained a little more about the illness that Alexis Mac Allister suffers from.
“It's a little more complicated than we initially thought. The other boy stepped on his knee and the bolt basically went through the muscle to the bone,” the Liverpool coach continued.
In this sense, the strategist assured that it is necessary to wait until “the bone heals and 'Macca' is able to cope with the pain”. Although he considers the Argentine to be a “super tough” guy, he will have to make sure that “nothing is contagious”.

When will Alexis Mac Allister return to the ring?
According to English reports, the Argentine will have between 15 and 20 days of recovery time until the bone is fully healed. Not only would the game against Union Saint Gilloise be lost, but also the clash against Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League. “I hope it doesn't take that long and that I make big steps in the next three or four days. Then we’ll see,” he concluded.
