The post reads: "Great win for the team today, these are the moments that make us stronger! I felt a slight discomfort during the game, but nothing that will stop me. Now, fully focused on what’s ahead. @liverpoolfc #YNWA."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Mac Allister has proven to be an excellent addition since signing from Brighton in the summer of 2023 for around £35 million ($45.9m). The 25-year-old is a key cog in Liverpool's midfield and manager Arne Slot will hope he will be fit and available for their next match after the international break as they look to preserve their lead at the top of the Premier League.
