Bad news for Liverpool? Alexis Mac Allister joins up with Argentina squad in Miami despite Crystal Palace injury concern

Arne Slot brought in Dominik Szoboszlai in place of Mac Allister at the start of the second half in Liverpool's win over Crystal Palace on Saturday. The player later provided an update on his condition as he confirmed that he felt 'slight discomfort' at half-time.

Amid an injury scare in the Reds camp, the Argentine midfielder has reportedly joined up with La Albiceleste squad in Miami ahead of their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifying games against Venezuela and Bolivia, according to Liverpool Echo's Paul Gorst.

On Sunday, the German football team confirmed that Kai Havertz will miss their Nations League fixtures against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Netherlands on October 11 and 14 due to a knee injury that he suffered during Arsenal's comeback win over Southampton last weekend.

Slot would hope Mac Allister does not aggravate his injury while being on national duty. The Reds will be next seen in action on October 20 as they take on a fiery Chelsea side in the Premier League at Anfield.
