Argentina has released an update on Alexis Mac Allister’s fitness, with the Liverpool midfielder having been struggling with a groin problem after being forced off at Crystal Palace.
Liverpool has been handed another huge boost during the international break after Alexis Mac Allister was spotted back in training with Argentina.
The midfielder was limited to the bench in the first of Argentina’s World Cup qualifying matches against Venezuela and Bolivia, although he nevertheless traveled for those matches. Prior to the match, Mac Allister’s manager Lionel Scaloni disclosed that he had been resuming a personal plan to regain fitness.
“Alexis is training differently,” Scaloni said.
“Let’s see if he is ready for the first game. For now he has not been able to train with us and we will make the decision if he is part of the squad or the bench, but today it is difficult for him. I think we have to take care of him. He is a boy who comes with a lot of games and today the situation is like this.”
Ahead of this week’s meeting with Bolivia though, Argentina has shared a video that shows Mac Allister back training with his teammates, suggesting he will be available again. Argentine outlet Ole confirmed the development, which will be welcomed as warmly at Liverpool as it will be in South America.
