BREAKING: Liverpool star has left the club today after an argument with the manager.

Liverpool supporters were left concerned after witnessing a risky tackle involving one of their players during international duty on Tuesday evening.

Alexis Mac Allister, who had recently recovered from a groin injury, played almost the entire match in Argentina’s win over Peru. Although there was a late moment of concern for Reds fans in Buenos Aires, he seemed to finish the game without any issues.

In the 88th minute, with Argentina leading 1-0, Mac Allister was fouled by Peruvian defender Carlos Zambrano, who was shown a yellow card by referee Wilmar Roldán. However, replays from TyC Sports revealed that the tackle was high, late, and made with studs up—an action that could have led to a red card. Thankfully, Mac Allister was unharmed.

Earlier in the match, Zambrano also collided with Lionel Messi, prompting the Argentine captain to angrily shout, “What are you doing, idiot?” as reported by TyC Sports.

Will Mac Allister Play for Liverpool on Sunday?

For Liverpool and manager Arne Slot, the good news is that Mac Allister seems to have avoided any lasting effects from Zambrano’s reckless tackle during Argentina’s World Cup qualifiers. The midfielder is expected to return to Merseyside in good health after completing both of Argentina’s matches.

However, with a lengthy transatlantic journey and a packed schedule ahead, it’s possible Mac Allister could be rested for Sunday’s match against Southampton to manage his workload. Furthermore, the 25-year-old is on four yellow cards in the Premier League, so another booking at St Mary’s would see him suspended for Liverpool’s crucial match against Manchester City next week.

Liverpool fans will hope their key midfielder returns to club action without injury and remains available for important fixtures in the weeks ahead.
