Jurgen Klopp will be without one of his most important players against Manchester United this weekend.
Klopp updated on Mac Allister’s injury ahead of USG vs Liverpool.Jurgen Klopp says he never saw the injury suffered by Alexis McAllister in Liverpool’s win over Sheffield United.
The Manchester United midfielder suffered a serious leg injury following a heavy challenge and will miss this weekend’s game against Manchester United while he recovers.
McAllister missed Saturday’s game against Crystal Palace and was also ruled out of Liverpool’s Europa League clash with Union Saint Gilroy. Klopp detailed McAllister’s horrific injury in a press conference on Wednesday, with the 56-year-old explaining he had never seen anything like it.
“It was more difficult than I thought at first,” said the Liverpool manager. “The opponent stepped on his knee and the stallion went from muscle to bone. Now we have to wait until the bone heals and Maka can take it because the pain is too much.” “Maka is a really tough guy, so we have to make sure nothing happens in terms of infection, which is really important.
I’ve never had an injury like this with any player before, but now I do.”I hope it doesn’t take long. I’d say anytime, but I think he could play in the next game, but he’s not ready for that either. “Hopefully he’ll make big progress in the next three or four days and then we’ll see.”
Liverpool will be dealing with a number of injuries for this weekend’s game against Manchester United, with the likes of Andy Robertson, Joel Matip and Diogo Jota ruled out. Wataru Endo will replace Mc Allister against the Red Devils, who are without several first-team players due to injury.
The Reds midfielder suffered a serious cut to his leg during the game against Sheffield United earlier this month.The hosts will be heavy favorites to take all three points given their impressive form in recent weeks. They are currently top of the Premier League, two points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, and have lost just one game all season.
meanwhile, have lost more than half of their games in all competitions and will likely need a miracle to beat Liverpool this weekend. They haven’t scored at Anfield for five years and lost 7-0 in the same fixture last season, one of the worst results in the club’s history.
